I am just outside DC...and looking for a shop that has served you well. Now that I am getting into traditional, I will need a show that I can head to and get the necessities required...with some helpful advise. Anyone happy with a particular shop in my area?
Cheers,
Matt
And thanks in advance...one of many questions I will likely post here.
Matt, I'm in Alexandria and have looked for trad shops. Haven't found anything except one or two wheelie shops. I buy everything via internet or at shoots.
Thats what I have figured...really was hoping to find a place to go over things...oh well - thanks for the response.
Cheers,
Matt
I used to travel 80 miles to Tim Williams shop in Back Creek WV. He closed, then luckily the net came along.
Look up no frontiers archery. Eric Fanques works out of his garage in McClain making thousands of arrows. He has or can get about anything you might need.
mfh, the Baltimore shoot in May will be a shopping mall to die for! Like Knifey, I get most stuff online or at shoots. If I have any gear that you want to try out, lemme know. Are you a member of NORVA?
Killdeer
Kimsha Archery is in MD; not sure exactly where. Never been there, but Tom Parsons always gets raves about his bows, service, etc. There is a website.
like killdeer said the baltimore shoot is like a toy store for us.save your pennies and stock up for the year good luck
i spend all year waiting for the Mid Atlantic so i can play touchy feely with as much trad gear as possible. and when i can wait or there is something i know i like i purchase it on-line. i have been out of the country for three Mid Atlantic shoots now and am totally freaking out that i cant play. i am currently looking at airfare jsut to fly home for the shoot.
There is a place in just outside Richmond in Gum Spring that has a selection of tradgear
oh i am going to have to get bob to take me there for sure. man this trip of mine is going to be real good fun i can just see it now in the local paper. new zealander shops big time in gum spring. LOL!!! :archer:
Holy cow...all I can say is thanks. As I mentioned, I am new...and am honestly overwhelmed by the support on this site. I below to lots of other hunting and bow forums (from crossbow and wheelie) but you guys are a cut above...
Thanks again!
I am heading to Albany NY this weekend and am going to stop in at Lemmes Archery in Colonie...spoke to him today, and he appears like a knowledgeable owner...think I may as another question on if anyone here has used them for gear.
