Started out me looking for a bow no one had around me. Looking for over a week calling everyone shop around saying they don’t have any in. I truly didn’t think I would get one I start just looking through pictures and found this store 1 hour 40 minute drive away. Called them up first thing in the morning they answer great Convo answered my question right off the top of his head. Went there the very next day and was totally treated with respect, gave me their valuable time and even helped me out of my budget over the phone. 100% recommended. Very clean shop has plenty of bows and other cool stuff. And to the people who say in the other reviews that they didn’t know it was a bow shop you’re dumb. If you walk in that all ya see on the wall on the left. But they even help me get a great deal on getting started.

I have dealt with many shops in my time and well this is definitely one to write a review about. The Bone Shed is one of the finest bow shops I have ever dealt with. They had EVERYTHING I NEEDED IN STOCK! There customer service is beyond anything I have ever experienced. Jordan, The associate I dealt with went above and beyond my expectations. His attention to detail and experience as a bow tech blew me away. Every Question I had he had a accurate and detailed answer for. He got both my bow and my Wifes set up properly so that he would know when it hit our hands there would not be one problem. Its the little details that count for me and he went above and beyond to make sure we both were taken care of. I loved the fact that he insisted on putting all the accessories on so that he would have piece of mind when the bow left the shop that it was all squared away. If we could clone Jordan and put him in more shops it would benefit them Greatly! Thank you JORDAN! You have customers for life!

Ive been out of archery for a while and was looking for a new bow. Went to a few shops and The Bone Shed was by far the best. The entire staff was very friendly and knowledgable. They worked with me shooting numerous bows and finding what worked best for me. Bought a Hoyt Helix decked out with latest and greatest accessories. Highly recommend this shop for all your archery needs.

They installed a new string on my bow . He paid attention to every detail and installed it just like he would do on his own bow. They spent two hours on it and only change me $20.00 . They have all my business.

Bob and Jordan were fabulous helping my 15yr old son purchase his first bow today! They took the extra time right around closing to fit him properly and gave him his first mini lesson. We went in originally not expecting to buy something the first visit in but are thrilled we did. A++

I am there looking for firearm accessories, I didnt know they only sold bows, I had to wait 10 mins to figure it out, because there was only one person working the front desk. Lucky I was able to find a back the blue shirt. So it was not a total lost. But if you are going there set aside a lot of time.

Bought a new Hoyt Ignite bow for my 11 year old son at The Bone Shed. The staff is awesome and very knowledgable. They helped my son pick out the right accessories, set up the bow, and had him shooting nice groups in no time at all. The free year of range time with the purchase of a new bow is nice too!

I didn’t catch his name but I explained the problem I was having with my groupings and he instantly started tuning my bow and setting me up with the proper arrows for my draw weight and length. Great place.

Never been inside. The sign on the door used to say open from 10:00-6:00 and the doors were always locked. Now it says open by appointment. So how does that work? You have to call and arrange for someone to open the doors for you? I dont think so.

Great shop! I called before I went down to Ottawa as I live about an hour away, and was looking for something very specific. I was looking for a recurve bow, left handed even, at 40# draw weight. Sure enough, they had one so off I went. When I got to the shop there were several customers browsing and the staff were busy helping out. I was asked if I needed help and when I told them I called about a recurve the manager (Tim Kitts) remembered me by name. They showed me the bow, strung it up and had me fling a few arrows. I had forgotten how much fun shooting a trad. bow could be! I ended up buying the bow, half dozen arrows, and other accessories, and spending most of my day flinging arrows and chatting with the staff and other customers. Very friendly atmosphere, great indoor facility, and wonderful service. I will be back!

This is just a front to their decoy wholesale operation, went there looking to purchase decoys and they said to call back Tuesday, this was a Saturday. Other than that all they do is bow work. Hours are horrible too. Store was cut in 2/3rds a few years ago.
