Anybody else from the Houston area? I am on the southwest side in Richmond, where are good places to shoot and are there any good traditional shops in Houston?
Horneshooter lives in Richmond. Stripstrike1 and I live in Houston. Horneshooter has a range in his yard at Foster Creek Estates. Send me a pm and we can get together and shoot. No good trad shops in town. Viking archery has some stuff and the Gander Mountain stores have a little.

I live in NE Houston/Kingwood. I'm not a trad shooter yet, but I will be any day now.....Waiting on a longbow from TradBowyer to come in the mail. There is shop in Humble called Sure Shot Archery. He is both a Trad and Compound shooter, and also a J.O.A.D trainer. He was very helpful to me, and has a nice indoor range. They used to have a Tuesday night traditional league, but interest must have waned.
Chester -- there is actually quite a few traditional shooters around Houston. We have a group that shoots at some of the local area 3d tournaments like Buffalo Field archery, Saltgrass, Banana Bend and MCAC.
There are also a couple of really big shoots that the local guys shoot at like Chester and the Hill Country Shootout

Chester, the guys Bonner mentioned are the ones I referred to in my email to you. So there's a few in your immediate area. I'm here as well.
I live in Magnolia. It's about 35 miles northwest of Houston.
Well there are several as Bernie had already told me but I thought that I would see for myself. Yes I just have to be that way. I don't shoot near as much as I would like, but I would love to make that change, so if anybody want to get together and shoot from time to time. Even if all it is getting together at a local range.
Yeah I have been to most of the bow shops in Houston that I can find and Viking is about the best for traditional stuff that I have found.
Give as a PM. I would be happy to get together and shoot with you. We may have to wait till after Deer Season though becase time is precious right now and I still need to kill a deer.
Check and see if Ft.Bend Bow hunters are still together ,,I used to shoot 3-D with a bunch down there several years ago. My ex got rid of all my paper work from there,,you may also check out Brazoria County Bowmen in West Colombia they shoot over at Green leaf in Brazoria .Been too long and I cant rember any names sorry.
