Archery Unlimited by far.

I had some time to kill last spring and went to Archery Unlimited and that was the best bow shop I had ever set foot in. Amazing

I’ve always used Bennett’s. Mike and Travis are knowledgeable and I’ve never had any issues. What makes Archery Unlimited better?

I second that I've used both and me personally Bennet. I just bought the VXR from there and he set me up right

I can't say which is best, as I've never been to archery unlimited.
For 20 years I've only done business with Mike Bennett. I don't see a reason to go anywhere else.


My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I’ve used both. But I don’t feel the sales pressure when I go into AU and just want to see what the latest and greatest new bows and gear have arrived as I have at Bennett’s. Just my experience over the years. The guys at AU always greet us, ask if they can help and then let us look. Also Rick and his crew have always been super helpful to any friends or family I’ve sent to them and are always appreciative of the referrals. The time he and his guys have spent with my sons young friends new to bow hunting is nothing short of amazing. Tons of patience and being able to break down little mistakes.
Not a hater of Bennett’s just think AU fits me, my family, and friends archery needs better.

Both are good shops but I have always been a loyal Bennett's customer. Mike and Travis have helped me out a ton over the years. Mike set me up with my first bow at 14 and to this day I can come in there an have him greet me and call me by name. They're just good people.

Totally agree. I've had great service at both shops. Bennett's is just a much further drive for me so I go to Archery Unlimited.

Sounds like you guys have 2 great choices. You are very lucky. When I went into to AU I told the gentleman we have nothing like this in Indiana. Almost all of the nice little archery shops have closed up. Last one I found was hour and half from my house and it was only in the evening type thing with a few bows. So you guys are very lucky.

I’ve used both and both are great. I did have an issue with one kid working at AU about 2 years ago. He couldn’t get my to act right. Rick’s son came over and fixed it and it’s been fine. Only speed bump I e ever had there but I just think he was I experienced. I use AU always now because it’s much closer to where I live now. I do like shooting Bennett’s course


Don't blame me for your bad decision-

It's Archery Unlimited for me and I have shopped at both. Robert Householder also works at AU and he is the number #1 Known 3D archer in the world.
