Illinois Archery Shop - Havana Outdoors

Illinois Archery Shop - Havana Outdoors

With bow season quickly approaching we decided to switch things up from our usual bait shop articles and check out a local archery shop. With the rise of bow-hunters across the country and in Illinois, archers are always looking for quality places to find, buy, replace and tune-in their equipment. Look no further than Havana Outdoors. If you're an experienced tournament shooter or a novice bow hunter you need to check out this place out. "We're not just a hick archery shop, we're full service" said Don Craig, pro-staffer and co-owner of Havana Outdoors.

James Sampson the owner of Havana Outdoors has been open less then a year and has already seen customers from as far as Galesburg and Riverton. "We're not going to sell you the bow your buddy thinks you should get or the bow you saw on TV. We're going to sell and help you get the bow you want and that's right for you" Don said. With a range in back, you're able to test the diverse bow manufacturers they already have in stock on the spot.

If your looking for a release, arrows, accessories or advice, there's something for everyone. There's a standing policy at Havana Outdoors and that's "100% honesty"! "Everyone 

has a different set of circumstances. So whether you have no credit limit or are on a strict budget our job here is to set you up to succeed and enjoy shooting" he said.

With honesty comes passion and with passion comes top notch customer service. Both James and Don have a passion for the outdoors. However, on their day off the door was still open taking questions and helping customers. While chit chatting it was easy to see the passion for everything related to bows. However there was something else there. The passion for their community.

"We try to buy everything local, help keep money in our community. That's why we buy our strings from Flatline Bowstrings. We're helping bring business to someone locally and our customers get a great product" said Don.
