Still working on getting range info but in the mean time we went to Willow Creek Archery. I met Jim, whom I guess is the owner, and he fixed my son-in-law up with a 35# PSE Heritage as a first bow for him. Some 1916s and some field points and a glove and stringer and he's set for some shooting and maybe even some bunny hunting.
Thanks Jim!

Bud B. , Did you meet Hoyt? The dog in Willow Creek? I love that store. Drop in every time I come home.

I didn't see Hoyt. We'll be going back. Jim had Abbott Longbows in stock and several other RH recurves. For a compound shop he wasn't too light on the trad stuff. His heaviest field points in stock were 125s though. He did make the comment that since the movie The Hunger Games was released he has seen a significant increase in young ladies taking an interest in archery.
We went to the Pendleton Game Warden yesterday. Lots of hoops to jump thru for hunting and just target practice. Seems the archery range is run by a private group and having to get all those contacts in line makes me just want to hold off on pressing the issue. If I had a longer visit planned then maybe. The hoops aren't bad, just more than what I care to pursue with my time restrictions.
At least my son-in-law is headed in the right direction for target practice and hunting.
