Bayouland Bowhunters

[longsidelandry]

I just wanted to give the guys at Bayouland Bowhunters in Lafayette a quick shoutout. I went there on my lunch break to drop off my bow to get the drawback lengthened up a bit, the draw weight dropped and to get it sighted in. I planned on just dropping it off and being on my way but as soon as I got there they immediately took my bow and dropped the draw weight for me to try it out. Not even 5 mins and that was taken care of. Then we went to the indoor range so I could sight it in, made a few shots so he could see how much he had to lengthen the drawback and he took it back to the table and got that taken care of for me. We then went back to the range and finished sighting it in. I was able to do it all on my lunch break, something I wasn't waiting for at all! It took about 90 minutes out of my day and about 60 minutes of it was driving. I will definately be referring them to anyone who needs bow work done.

Yeh the guy Brandon that runs it is a good dude. They have a tv screen that u can put blunt tips on your arrows and shoot at. Plays videos of elk, deer, etc walking through the woods and u have to shoot them. It has a scoring system on where u hot it vitals, etc. It's pretty sweet!

Yeh that's it. It's pretty awesome u need to check it out. I think thy might charge like $5 or so. But it's worth it. Makes it fun. U go there with a buddy and have a little competiton. It's a huge pull down screen and u change out your field tips for these blunt tips of equal weight that u can shoot at the screen. An elk or whatever will walk out and u have to pick the best time to pick the shot. He will be behind a few trees or something and u need to wait for him to walk out. They score like 10 points for heart shot, 8 for vitals, and like 5 for the rest. And u can even get 10 points if u shoot him in the right spot in the head! Very fun. Check it out.

Yea man I'll definately let you know. This will be my first year hunting with a bow so I'm trying to shoot as much as possible so I can get comfortable with it.

Well I'm by no means a pro but I been bowhunting since I was 7 yrs old. Shot my first when I was 8 yrs old with a bow. As soon as u get up in that tree with a bow in your hands u gonna be hooked.

Tell me about it, I went on a trip in the basin last year but didn't see any deer. As soon as I got to the height I would be hunting at I couldn't wait til the sun came up so I could hopefully shoot something. I was to the point that I wanted to at least shoot at a squirrel lol.

LL tell Brandon at Bayouland Josh Townsend said hello when you go back. When I lived in lafayette we hunted and fished together a whole lot. He pretty much taught me Cocodrie. He runs a good busisness and customer service is great. I live an hour away and still bring my bow there even though there is a shop 15 minutes from my house.
