I am looking for an archery store on Long Island. I would like to look at used bows compound or recurve mainly because they are cheaper. Do you know of any that is not too far away from queens. I dont want to drive more than 40mins. Thank you

I go to that place frequently, and I have been to ProLine in Ozone Park. I dont like their prices. Even their used bows are too expensive especially to install a peep sight, arrow rest and front sight.

Did you break both collarbones if you dont mind me asking? Have you tried learning to shoot with the other arm extended?

Shooting orthodox would allow you to continue shooting. Do you hunt? It would allow you to hunt without going through all the hoopla of getting a gun. I try to do both orthodox and southpaw. I dont want to strain either elbow too much.

I got my compound bow and supplies at C&B Archery in Hicksville. They've got a nice range too.
