There's a couple of guys up there that I know of.  Maybe they'll chime in.  

I lived there back the the 1990s. Fantastic place.  There used to be a couple of shops, one near Costco.  They had an indoor range, but were mostly compound guys.  There was another guy in the Valley, that had a little shop out of his house.  He was mostly compound, too.  I have no idea if they are still open, though.

Juneau does have one of the most awesome archery ranges I've ever seen.  It's up Montana Creek past the rifle range. I used to spend hours and hours up there.

There are two archery shops I Juneau: Archery Outfitters, and another run by Kirk McBride. Can't remember what Kirk calls his shop, but he's the one I would go to as he is into trad gear.

There is a new indoor range in the same building as the gun range on Montana Creek road. When I was there a couple of weeks ago, there were mostly trad shooters there. Had a great time! Go to  www.juneauarchery.com (http://www.juneauarchery.com)  for their summer schedule and other Juneau Archery Club info.

As a former Adakian, I wish I was there with you.  Adak had great caribou and duck geese and ptarmigan hunting to be envied
