Woods Edge Taxidermy and Archery combines a full-service archery shop with indoor shooting facilities in Friendship, Wisconsin. The business operates a 40-yard indoor range where customers can practice and prepare for hunting season without leaving the shop. For those interested in competitive shooting, the facility also offers a 20-yard video archery league designed to accommodate couples, kids, and serious competitors alike.
The pro shop carries a wide selection of bows and archery accessories from major manufacturers including Mathews, Hoyt, Obsession, Ravin, Martin, and Killer Instinct. The staff provides bow tuning, fitting, and setup services, and takes time to work with customers new to archery, ensuring they leave feeling confident and comfortable with their equipment. The shop prides itself on offering honest advice about which gear works best for individual needs and fair pricing on both products and services.
Beyond archery, the business operates an extensive taxidermy operation with 15+ years of experience, handling everything from fish and bird mounts to shoulder mounts, full mounts, and rugs. Visitors note the quality of the taxidermy work and consistently mention the knowledgeable and helpful customer service provided by owner Dan Faretta, who has over 35 years of combined experience in both trades. Hours rotate seasonally, and appointments outside regular business hours can be arranged by calling ahead.
