Get to know us..
M&M Archery Range and Pro Shop is a family owned and operated, full service, archery pro shop, and archery training center.
We specialize in archery training and classes with archers of all ages.
Our business started more than 30 years ago when Mel became frustrated with the quality and service of archery in the tri-state area. He had enjoyed hunting since the age of six, hunting on his family farm. Mel began gathering as much information as he could in order to succeed in the outdoor industry. One day while a local shop was changing the string on his bow, the technician behind the counter explained to him that the only training that he had was watching videos and the directions inside the box of products.
Mel felt a strong urge to find a better way to provide service to archers in the tri-state area. Knowing that he would retire soon, he decided to open the only professional, and family friendly indoor archery pro-shop and training center in the area.
Archery is our passion.
We pride ourselves in personally testing each and every product in our store. If we carry it, we know it and would use it ourselves. Every product we carry is special because we put our name on it and we take that very seriously. We stay on the cutting edge of new archery technology and often attend product demos and other various training. We review and field test in a genuine effort to provide you only the absolute best, and safest equipment.
M&M Archery Range Pro-Shop and Training Center is proud to be associated with multiped associations and programs including:
ATA Archery Trade Association
USA Archery
National Archery in Schools Program (NASP)
Explore Bowhunting
S3DA
USA Archery Adult Program
Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD)
We want to bring this great opportunity to our local youths and our community. With us you are much more than a customer, you are a friend.
At M&M Archery, we feel our youths are the most valuable investment we can make in preserving the great sport of archery and the future of hunting.
It is equally important to preserve enjoyment in the great outdoors. That is why we are proud to be the a family friendly archery shop and training center in the area.
We also are very active on our Facebook, and Instagram pages. Follow us for updates, information and opportunities!
