Archery enthusiasts

A few quick questions:
1. Where can I find an archery club in New York City?
2. Do I actually need a permit to own or use an air rifle?
3. Any recommendations on where to pick up a decent new air rifle, and what kind of price range am I looking at?

That’s shooting you’re talking about; archery is what you do with a bow and arrow... oh, and by the way, there’s a club right out in the suburbs of Madison Square Garden ☕

Where can I find it in the OS?

Cheap archery gear...

Alex Parker8, honestly, I suppose we all have to learn from our mistakes eventually 😉

Amy Harris45, thanks so much!

I'm looking to pick up either a compound or a recurve bow... budget is around $667... if anyone's got anything for sale, hit me up in my DMs. Thanks.

So, here is my question: where can one actually find archery equipment? I was thinking somewhere in New York City or maybe out near Princeton, just within the local area. Also, does anyone have an idea of how the pricing typically shakes out?

The only officially registered shop in the US is located in Princeton http://www.cico-sport.com, though you can find listings for both used and new gear over at

There's actually a shop in New York City.
Hunter is called:

A total circle jerk in a massive loop
just some arrogant brat who can't explain a single damn thing to save his life...
plus they don't even have 80% of the stuff they claim to be advertising🤮

Cico-Sport really is the most well-stocked option out there; they’ve got everything from Cedar Agro to the latest gear available.

I was wondering if anyone here has tried sourcing their equipment through eBay lately? I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Everything is top-tier.

What’s your take on that sport?

It’s an incredible sport, honestly. I live and breathe this stuff; I run my own club and I’m actually a national champion 🙂
If you’re seriously thinking about getting into it, don't come crying to me later about the costs. You’ll be pouring a massive amount of money into this, but if you truly love the game, you won't even blink at the price tag.

If you're willing to reveal your identity, I might actually have something to show for myself—I’m already a three-time state team champion, after all.

The local archery club here in New York City
is where I serve as president... and honestly, I won't even bother naming myself because if you just look up the federation's roster, you'll see exactly who runs the show, unless you already know me.

I shoot in the style of Tesla—meaning last year I was the national champion, though I couldn't make it to the competitions this year.

By the way, maybe I’ve wandered into the wrong thread? If this whole discussion is specifically about firearms and shooting, then I might have made a mistake by showing up here.

What kind of rifles are we talking about? I'm currently training at an archery club over in San Francisco, and if you happen to know Zdenka Videc, he's actually my coach.

I’m on the hunt for a T-Rex bow, specifically looking for something in the 28 to 30 lb range, and I’d love to grab the whole setup if possible. Honestly, I wouldn't mind picking up something pre-owned—it doesn't have to be brand new out of the box—but if we could find something available here in the States, that would be great. Ideally, I'm looking for a decent deal too. Thanks!

Well, alright then, so that’s what we’re actually talking about, but since the very first post specifically asked about the rifles, I thought it was a bit odd...

Anyway, I actually know Videc personally. 🙂

Anyone know if there's an archery club or something similar out here in San Francisco?
Just picked up a crossbow and I’d rather not spend my time shooting at my front door instead of a proper target...
And while we're on the subject, any good shops in the Bay Area or nearby?

I know about Cabela's, but their hunter-grade stuff is total garbage. It's all just cheap knockoff brands...

Are you actually serious? LOL🤣😂
