You are somewhere around 50 miles or so from SGPT archery club. Acronym stands for : South Georgia Primitive , Traditional archery. They meet at Ellaville GA at 101 Poole road on the second Saturday of the month starting in January and continuing through August. They will help you make a self bow right there, and they have a 3D shoot and a meal too. Great folks and great fun. Check it out!
