I live in CT and would like to get a custom longbow. I've been looking around the web and have found some great shops but none in my area. I would rather go to the bowers shop and speak with him face to face reather than ordering online. So does any one know of a custom bow shop within a 4 hour drive of CT?
Scotty, Only one I know of and would recommend is Northwind Traditional Archery . My son and I both have bows from him and they are great . My NW flatbow is my killing stick that never fails. problem ----- he's two hours west of me near Buffalo , NY . heres the address Gerry Fiegl 716-689-3701
3351 Tonawanda Creek Rd., Amherst, New York 14228 . Tell him Pops sent ya!
I shoot a Northwind Gem & its a great bow. I highly recommend Gerry`s bows. Mike
Try Joe Skipp
hi scotty, where in CT are you?? i'm in so. NY. & there is a trad bow shop in NJ. don't have the info in front of me but i can get it to you if your interested. has lots of good bows to look at.... take care,
mike
Depending on where you are in CT Fedora's shop here in PA should be pretty close to your 4 hour limit.
Try Rob Schultze (Blue Monday on Tradgang). He's out on Cape Cod but doesnt have a shop. Just makes bows for a few lucky people. Last summer I shot a neat bow he'd been working on. Kind of like a Brackenbury NonTypical but with a Dale Dye shaped grip.
im in south western CT for all who asked. I'm pretty excited about all the shops you guys recomended so far I'll check them all out. Thanks for the help and if any one knows of any other shops feel free to let me know. Thanks again-Scott
