Fans of the business flocked to share their disappointment at the closure online, with some posting to reddit.
“What a shame,” one wrote. “We took the kids a couple of times and all had a great time.”
“I used to love this store – great community.”
The owners maintained they would continue to be involved in archery activities on the Coast.
“We will still be a business that will attend lots of shoots in South Queensland and beyond with our trailer of goodies, and in the near future will have an online presence with a website and possibly another store with shooting lanes,” they said.
“Jay has been involved in archery for over 35 years and will continue to be involved, both shooting and offering advice and coaching to any who seek to improve.”
