Archery Services in Bossier City, Louisiana
Professional Bow Service For Reliable Accuracy And Performance
Even a well-set-up bow can fall out of tune over time. Strings and cables stretch, components wear, and small adjustments can affect how a bow shoots. That’s where the professional bow service and tuning at Hoot & Holler Archery comes in. We work on compound bows, recurves, crossbows, and bowfishing setups, handling everything from routine adjustments and repairs to complete setups and custom string and cable work.
Archers throughout Bossier City, Louisiana, and the surrounding area bring their equipment to us for tuning, repairs, string and cable replacement, accessory installation, adjustments, and troubleshooting. Whether you're getting ready for hunting season, heading out bowfishing, preparing for a tournament, or simply trying to get your bow shooting the way it should, our goal is to make sure your equipment is properly set up and ready to perform.
With decades of hands-on experience working with bows and bow presses, our technicians know what to look for beyond the obvious problem. We also work directly with manufacturers and their technical teams when needed to ensure components are installed and adjusted according to manufacturer specifications.
Whenever possible, we don't just make an adjustment and hand the bow back. We test the setup and use our on-site range to confirm its performance. As part of our complete setup service, we help the archer sight in their bow at distances up to 20 yards. Because every archer shoots a little differently, the archer needs to shoot their own bow during the sight-in process. Our technicians are there to guide the adjustments and help make sure the bow is properly set up and ready for the archer to continue practicing and fine-tuning at longer distances.
Arrow Service
Every shooting style deserves a bow that genuinely suits it. Compound rigs for hunters, recurves for target archers, and traditional longbows for purists all fill our racks here, ready for you to draw and compare properly before you decide on anything at all.
Complete Bow Service And Repair Solutions We Offer
Arrow Service
We provide complete arrow services right here in our shop, including custom cresting, cutting, fletching, wraps, nock installation, insert installation and removal, and complete custom arrow builds. We consider your bow setup, draw weight, arrow length, and intended use to help select the proper arrow spine and components for your setup.
Whether your arrows are for hunting, target competition, school archery, or recreational shooting, our goal is to build and service arrows that are properly matched to you and your bow for consistent, reliable performance.
Bow Services
We offer a full range of professional bow services, including timing and tuning, draw weight and draw length adjustments, peep sight installation and adjustment, and the installation or replacement of sights, rests, quivers, cable guards, limbs, cams, and other components.
We also provide sight leveling and sight-in assistance on our in-house range, allowing you to shoot your own bow while our technicians help make the necessary adjustments. Complete bow setups are also available, so your equipment can be properly fitted, adjusted, tuned, and tested before you leave the shop.
Bowfishing Bow Service
Bowfishing puts different demands on your equipment than traditional target shooting or hunting. We provide complete bowfishing setup and service, including reel and reel seat installation, safety slides, No-Glove installation, bowfishing lights and accessories, and custom strings and cables.
Whether you're setting up a new bowfishing rig or getting your current equipment ready for another season, we can help make sure everything is properly installed, adjusted, and ready for the demanding conditions that come with bowfishing.
Crossbow Service
Crossbows require specialized equipment and knowledge for proper setup, adjustment, and repair. We provide complete crossbow services, including new crossbow setup, scope mounting and adjustment, sight-in assistance, string and cable replacement, crank installation, and other accessory installation and repairs.
Our technicians work with crossbows throughout the year and are familiar with a wide variety of brands and models. Whether you're setting up a new crossbow or maintaining one you already own, we can help make sure your equipment is properly assembled, adjusted, and ready for the range or hunting season.
String & Cable Service
Bowstrings and cables naturally wear and stretch over time, which can affect your bow’s performance and eventually become a safety concern. We provide complete string and cable services, including custom string and cable sets, serving repair and replacement, D-loop installation, peep sight installation and adjustment, string silencer installation, and string waxing.
We can also inspect your strings and cables for signs of wear and recommend replacement when needed. Our goal is to keep your bow properly maintained, tuned, and ready to perform reliably whether you’re hunting, competing, or shooting recreationally.

The Value Of Expert Archery Equipment Maintenance
Tighter Arrow Groups
A properly tuned bow can make a noticeable difference in arrow flight and consistency. By checking cam timing, rest alignment, and overall bow setup, we help make sure your equipment is working with you—not against you. Combined with consistent shooting form, proper tuning can help produce tighter groups and more predictable shots.
Equipment You Can Trust
Confidence in your equipment matters whether you’re hunting or competing. Having a trained technician inspect your bow’s limbs, strings and cables, serving, cams, and hardware can help identify wear or potential problems before they affect your shot. With your equipment properly inspected and maintained, you can focus on the target instead of worrying about your bow.
A Bow Fitted to You
A properly fitted bow can make a big difference in your comfort, form, and consistency. We adjust draw length, draw weight, and other components to fit you rather than making you adapt to the bow. The right fit helps you build better form, find a consistent anchor point, and shoot with greater confidence and accuracy.
Less Downtime During the Season
When your bow needs service, we understand you want to get back to shooting as soon as possible. Our in-house bow repairs, string and cable work, rest adjustments, sight leveling and tuning help minimize downtime and get your equipment back in your hands. Whether you’re preparing for a hunt, tournament, or league night, we work to get you back on the range or in the field as quickly as possible.
Protect Your Investment
A quality bow is an investment, and regular maintenance can help keep it performing properly for years. String and cable inspections, waxing, serving checks, and timing adjustments can identify wear and small issues before they become bigger problems. Routine maintenance helps protect your equipment, maintain performance, and reduce the chance of costly repairs down the road.
Answers From Trained Technicians
We want you to understand your equipment, not just hand your bow back after the work is done. Our technicians explain what was adjusted, why it was needed, and how it affects your bow’s performance. We’re also happy to answer your questions so you can better recognize when your bow may need an adjustment, tune, or service in the future.

Small adjustments can make a big difference in how your bow performs. That’s why archers throughout Bossier City, Louisiana, and the surrounding area trust Hoot & Holler Archery for professional bow service year-round.

Our technicians will inspect the setup, identify potential issues, and make the adjustments or repairs needed. Catching small problems early can help prevent bigger issues and keep your equipment shooting consistently.
Our goal is simple: your bow leaves properly fitted, tuned, tested, and ready for you to shoot with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when my bow actually needs a tune up?
Sudden group changes, unexplained noise, peep rotation, or arrows tearing paper unevenly all point directly toward tuning. Any bow that has sat completely unused for a full year also deserves a proper inspection on our bench before you go and shoot it again.
What does paper tuning tell you about my arrow flight?
Shooting a single arrow through paper reveals whether the shaft leaves your bow perfectly straight or with nock high, nock low, or lateral tears instead. Those tear patterns then tell us precisely which adjustment needs to be made next on the bench here.
Can you replace strings and cables on a crossbow?
Absolutely, yes. Crossbow strings carry far more stored energy than most people ever really expect, so replacement properly belongs on a press with the correct fixtures rather than being attempted at home in a garage using improvised tools and plenty of blind hope.
How long does a complete bow setup usually take?
Straightforward setups will often finish during the same single visit, while custom string builds and full tunes obviously need longer than that. We always give you a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one that you simply cannot plan around at all.
What is included when you set a bow to 20 yards?
Sight housing gets positioned, the top pin gets dialled in at that distance, and rest alignment is confirmed through real arrows downrange. At Hoot & Holler Archery in Bossier City, Louisiana, every adult bow receives this treatment before leaving the shop with you.
Should I adjust my own draw weight at home?
Limb bolt adjustments seem simple enough at first but can very easily throw off cam timing and cause uneven limb loading. Having it done properly on a press protects both your expensive equipment and the tune that you have already paid us for.
Do you service bows that were purchased somewhere else?
Of course we do. Plenty of customers arrive here with rigs bought online or inherited from a family member, and 30 years of steady bench work at Hoot & Holler Archery in Bossier City, Louisiana covers nearly every major brand ever made anywhere.
What is the difference between a basic tune and a super tune?
Basic work covers the cam timing, centre shot, and nocking point position properly. The deeper super tune package then adds paper and bare shaft testing, cam lean correction, and patient fine adjustment until your arrow flight is genuinely clean at every single distance.
