S K ULL HILL ARCHERY

Skull Hill Archery started with a heavy interest into Bowfishing. Once Brandon Baughman conquered the waters with a bow his uncle introduced him to hunting. He then learned of tournaments he could compete in and the archery trinity came to a full circle. “They were very humble beginnings. My friends encouraged me a lot with working on their rigs and learning to perfect mine.”

He started in a small corner of his motorcycle shop and grew to the entire storefront. “I was passionate about motorcycles because I got to spend time with my dad. We spent hours together building these choppers.” Learning to be patient and meticulous while working with his dad has made him a bow technician that is heavily sought out in south Florida. Brandon takes his time with his customers and their equipment to help them be at their best. That way when the pressure is on whether they are hunting or shooting targets they can have confidence in their shots. Brandon always says archery is 80 percent mental and 20 percent equipment. His goal with each customer is for them to leave feeling confident in their shot placement.

The shop is always a learning environment. His passion for the sport is why his customers keep coming back. “He will spend half a day with someone just to make sure they have no question left unanswered. Says his wife Cynthia. “He isn’t the only one either. Tom, Shane, and Fred have the same zeal for archery.” Tom

Lockton is the in-house coach. He excels when it comes to coaching kids and beginners. He is a seasoned shooter and has devoted his life to helping others in their archery careers. Shane O’Neal has been a lifelong friend of Brandon. When Doc passed away unexpectedly a year and a half ago Shane stepped in to build arrows. He has brought a lot of expertise to the hunting aspect of the shop. Fred Hill helps out when he finishes his job with the gas company. Not only did he win the Deep South Bow Classic in Georgia but the man can cook!

It's this kind of wisdom that makes this shop stand out from the rest. “I have always wanted this shop to honor God in every way. By being our best and helping others we want to show them the love of Christ. He is the One that gives me the ability to do what I love.” Brandon says.
