JD Archery and Paintball Supply

JD Archery and Paintball Supply sits between Eagle River and St. Germain on State Highway, serving bowhunters and target shooters across the region. The shop stocks a deep inventory of bows, crossbows, and accessories from major manufacturers—and they price aggressively while backing it with actual customer service.

Most bows and crossbows are set up so you can try before you buy. That means you're not guessing on fit or performance.

On-site services: - Bow setup and tuning (free with purchase) - Paper tuning and chronographing - Custom arrows cut to spec, fletched with your choice of vanes or feathers - Custom strings and cables made on-site - Full accessory installation (sights, rests, releases) - Basic and advanced shooting instruction

If they don't have something in stock, they can usually get it in a few days.

Their indoor range runs $8/hour for standard shooting up to 20 yards. High-tech compressed foam backstop makes arrow removal easy even at high draw weights.

For something different, try the video range ($8 per half hour, $12/hour). You select the animal you want to hunt and shoot at moving video footage—it's close to a live hunting experience without leaving the building.

• •Instruction: $35/hour broken into 15-minute sessions. Joe works with shooters from complete beginner to advanced, whether you're trying to get on paper or fixing a specific problem. Walk-ins accepted, but calling ahead is appreciated.

• •Leagues: Hunter-style league runs 12 weeks starting in January or early February. Handicapped for all skill levels and ages. Shooting happens at 20 yards or less with range lanes set up with trees and branches. You shoot from blinds, tree stands, kneeling, sitting—any hunting position to keep it challenging.

They carry stock and custom arrows from multiple manufacturers, broadheads, sights, rests, trigger releases, and a full line of bow and crossbow accessories. If you're just starting, they occasionally have quality used equipment available.
