Eagle
Creek Outfitters originated in 2006, when a few avid sportsmen by
the names of Bryant Burcham, Keith Reeves, and Emmett Slone, whom
worked together at a local law enforcement agency, thought that it would be fun to film their favorite past
time, hunting.
After capturing some outstanding footage, they decided to recruit some of
the most dedicated turkey hunters and videographers in the
area. With the addition of Larry Salts, and Steve "Opie" Thomas, the doors flew open for Eagle Creek
Outfitters. The newly developed crew, now known as Team ECO began
gathering and editing footage that resulted in the expansion of
the company.
Bryant, Keith, & Emmett decided that they did not
want to stop with just producing videos, and therefore opened the
doors to ECO's Outdoor Store, & Guide service,
March 2008, in Waynesboro, Tennessee. The original store
consisted of one 1,300 sq ft showroom, which was located on the Public
Square.
ECO started developing many
working relationships in the hunting industry. Teaming up with Chris
Eck & Prostaffers, of Rocky Top Game Calls, ECO started getting involved with Hunting
For a Cure which benefits St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and
miscellaneous shows and conferences.
During the 2008/09 Winter season, the storefront
started taking on a different appearance. With the addition of an
additional 2,000+ square feet of sale floor, combining two buildings
as one, inventory increased.
January of 2009 a division of
Eagle Creek Outfitters, DBA Eagle Creek Graphics was launched. This
division offered the services of signs, banners, decals, websites,
print material (business cards, flyers, etc.).
January proved to be a busy
month as the founders of "Team ECO" started a separate entity, now
know as "Team ECO Ministry".
In the spring of 2009, Bryant and Keith
dissolved their partnership in the Outdoor Store but remain a part of
Team ECO Ministry.
Also in the spring of
2009, the 2009 work began on the 20 yard indoor archery range. This
project was completed and opene d
for business late summer/early fall. A concentration was also placed
on archery equipment and service with the addition of the "Archery
Shop".
The "Archery Shop" was
opened late August of 2009 and the indoor range was completed, shortly
prior to the 2009 archery season. New management came with the newly
added and needed shop, as Jimmy Turnbow joined forces with ECO in the
fall of '09. Also
David "Shorty" Horner and John Andrews joined our staff. We would
like to say Thank You, to all of our volunteers & employees that help
the day to day functions of our company run smoothly.
In the Spring of 2010,
Eagle Creek Creek Graphics added a FULL COLOR digital printer to the
resource of equipment. This enables us to print on vinyl, banners,
stickers, poster paper, etc. We can even make you custom arrow wraps
with whatever you may want on them!
Also in the Spring of
2010, "Team ECO Ministry" was dissolved, and a ministry with different
direction was formed. Look forward to hearing from "633 Outdoors".
We hope that we
can suit the needs of our customers, and continual growth is expected.
Thank you for your business.
