Powderhorn first opened in 1978 at 413 West Main Street in Hyannis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The store was open Monday-Friday evening 6 - 9 p.m. and Saturdays 9 - 5. The 200 square feet of space held just firearms and related accessories. In 1983, the shop opened full time, 6 days a week. Two years later, The Powderhorn moved to Center Street, Hyannis, and increased to 800 sq. ft. At this time, Mark started giving lessons in basic marksmanship, safety and Massachusetts firearm law. At the same time, we put in archery and initiated the law enforcement business. By 1994, more space was needed again, and The Powderhorn moved to Barnstable Road, our present location. Fishing equipment was added in 1998 when Andy Little, a local expert in the field, came to work for the shop. Currently, our 4, 000 sq. ft. of space is dedicated to providing the best in hunting, target shooting, archery, fishing, and law enforcement and all related accessories and educational opportunities. We offer an interactive, video shooting range for both archery and firearms. This high-tech shooting range is available during normal business hours for those who want to hone their skills in either sport. The archery portion can be used with your equipment ; the firearms section is used with our guns, modified for use with this special technology. This facility is for rent by the half hour. Mark Cohen, the Proprietor of The Powderhorn, has been shooting since he was 8 years old. His Dad taught him to shoot and hunt. Together they hunted on Cape Cod and throughout Massachusetts. In the early 60s, Mark was one of the Boy Scouts who shot at the indoor range at the local armory ( site of John F. Kennedys announcement as a Presidential candidate ) in Hyannis. Mark is familiar with hunting on Cape Cod, having hunted since boyhood with his dad, and on his own since he was old enough to do so - age 15.
