Seems like I remember Eric Krewson hunts slightly north of there.
im in the huntsville area. there are actually quite a few trad guys around. i have a bowyer a mile down the street from me....and theres a good shop in south huntsville called custom archery center. i also hog/deer hunt alot of the public land in the madison/limestone county area. ive been hunting trad since i was 16 and ive got alot of help from alot of nice guys around here( im now 26) let me know if he needs any help.
The ASTB has several good shoots at Tannehill every year.The Howard Hill is also held there.It's just south of Birmingham,not really close but worth the trip.
I live in Huntsville,he will love it!
The Tannehill shoots are off the chart excellent in my opinion. I lived in Tuscaloosa for 4 years and now am in Rogersville - just west of Huntsville about 45min. Great area (I grew up here) although i'm just hoping to get started hunting on some of the public land mentioned by one of the other members. Best of luck

I live about 60 miles north west of Huntsville in Florence. The three larger shoots at Tannehill park south of Birmingham are definitely worth the 2 hr drive from Huntsville. Two more shoots, in early spring and late fall, at the Briarfield Iron Works south of Birmingham are mighty good ones as well.
I live just north of Huntsville(Meridianville). Work in Huntsville. Southern Draw Bowyer just outside of town. Turkey Creek Bowyer South of Huntsville an hour or so. Sipsey River was closest Trad Shop 1 1/2 hour south in Arley. Custom Archery Center as best Archery Shop in town(Indoor range). Most of us Trad guys meet at 3D shoots in the area. I put a list out each year of the 3d shoots in a 2 hour drive of Huntsville. Main Trad shoots:
1.Kentucky Klassic -1st weekend April Nancy,Ky. 6 hours.
2.Tannehill Childrens shoot last weekend April. 2 hours. www.astb.net (http://www.astb.net)
3.Tennessee Classic 1st weekend May. 2 hours.My favorite.
4. Howard Hill shoot 1st weekend June 2 hours.
5. Alabama State Shoot 1st weekend Aug. 2 hours. www.astb.net (http://www.astb.net)
Lots of other stuff.
PM if any questions.
