WALLKILL—On a Tuesday afternoon, 8-year-old Town of Wallkill resident Jeffrey Paes hones his archery skills at Gander Mountain’s archery range in Wallkill.

Draw. Aim. Release—bulls eye. Draw. Aim. Release—miss. Draw. Aim. Release—bulls eye.

“He’s absolutely professional,” said a bystander who was watching to see how the release worked on Jeffrey’s bow.

In the last few months, Gander Mountain, a sporting goods store with an archery range, has become Jeffrey’s second home—he comes here every day after school, on weekends, and he is on a first name basis with the staff.

He's absolutely professional.
