Saratoga Springs, NY

I have offically moved from VA to Saratoga Springs. Someone told me there's an archery shop near this area and if anyone knows where it is could they please tell me. I've also been told that there is an archery club that meets once a month in this area. Again, any help on that would be appreciated. I live in the Geyser Crest community off Geyser Rd if that will help with directions.
I can't wait to get up into the National Park. I may go today just to drive around and see. Thanks for any help guys.

John, I lived up there for a couple years while in the Navy. Worked out at the Nuke site.

Great hunting up by lake desolation, BIG woods. I shot a doe one time up there. Wish I would have thought first. I was close to 3 miles from the road.

You live that close to me Chris? You ought to come visit me during turkey season.

Bowspirit · March 14, 2009, 10:45:00 PM

I might just have to do that, Dave...

Looks like I may have few well known bowyers coming up to chase the birds and a few others you might like to meet.
