Enid Archery

Enid Archery sits at 704 South Hoover in Enid, Oklahoma and handles everything from your first arrow to a lifetime of hunting and competitive shooting. The shop is managed by Grant Gungoll, a 13-time State Champion archer who knows his way around compound bows, crossbows, traditional archery, and the people trying to learn them.

This isn't a place that sells you equipment and sends you out the door. Gungoll's approach is simple: your equipment has to fit you, or you won't be successful. That's the philosophy. Whether you're buying new or used gear, he'll work with you to make sure it's right.

Services include: - Bow and crossbow sales (compound, crossbow, traditional longbow, recurve) - Equipment repair and maintenance - Bow and crossbow tuning - Lessons and coaching - Beginner instruction ("someone who wants to shoot their first arrow") - Competition preparation - Bowhunting guidance

Enid Archery serves hunters, competitive shooters, kids learning archery through youth organizations, and people picking the sport up for exercise or family time. Gungoll has taught a large number of kids to shoot archery in the Enid area and regularly coaches archers competing in 3-D, indoor, field, target, and broadhead events—the disciplines that are most popular in Oklahoma right now.

Grant Gungoll isn't just managing a bow shop. He's a competitive archer with state and reserve world championships in both compound and traditional archery. He's won shooting both left-handed and right-handed. He's harvested whitetail with a longbow and considers that his biggest accomplishment as an archer—not the 13 State Championships.

He's also honest about what works and what doesn't. When asked about compound bow vs. crossbow, he doesn't dodge the question. His take: if you're not willing to put substantial work into practicing and tuning a compound bow, get a crossbow. You still need to practice and tune it, but the time commitment is different. Either way, accuracy and animal respect matter.

"I will gladly help you with any issues if you do not have other help. It is important to me that you get off to a good start for your development in the sport and your safety." — Grant Gungoll

Gungoll's first piece of advice to anyone starting archery: figure out what you actually want to do. Hunting? Competition? Recreation? Exercise? Family activity? Then—and this is critical—talk to an experienced archer before you buy equipment. The biggest mistake he sees is people buying used equipment without considering fit. That applies to adults and kids alike. Equipment that doesn't fit won't perform, and you won't develop properly in the sport.
