About Us

Where Tradition Meets Precision

What started as a small, locally owned shop has grown into a trusted name for high-quality bows, firearms, and expert service. We’re proud to be deeply rooted in Columbia’s outdoor community—and even prouder to help generations of sportsmen and women gear up for the woods, the range, and the competition line.

Our team isn’t just here to sell you a product—we’re here to make sure it performs. Whether you’re buying your first bow or upgrading your favorite hunting rifle, we stand behind everything we sell. That means offering honest advice, in-house service, and even loaner bows when you need a quick fix during the season.

Powder Horn Columbia offers competitive pricing on top brands, personalized service you won’t find in big-box stores, and a crew that actually knows your gear because we use it too.

When you walk through our doors, you’re not just a customer—you’re part of the Powder Horn community.

SALES & SERVICE

At Powder Horn Guns & Archery, we take pride in making sure your equipment is tuned, set up, and ready for the field. When you purchase a new bow or equipment from us, we provide a complete bow tune and setup, including installing and adjusting key components like sights and arrow rests. Our standard bow setup includes essential tuning adjustments such as D-loop installation and paper tuning, although availability may vary depending on the equipment. For those bringing their own gear, our complete advanced setup includes mounting customer-supplied accessories, paper tuning, D-loop setup, and more.

Regular maintenance services include basic bow tunes, which involve paper tuning, a string condition check, and a general safety inspection, as well as complete bow tunes, which go further with a teardown, thorough cleaning, and lubrication. We also offer standalone services like paper tuning (with basic adjustments), arrow fletching (3- or 4-fletch, using standard vanes), and string set installation and tuning—available for both customer-provided strings and those purchased directly from Powder Horn. Whether you’re gearing up with new equipment or need to keep your current setup in peak condition, we’re here to keep you dialed in and ready to shoot.
