So, I’m from Louisiana and my godchild who is 10 lives with my sister in D.C. he has expressed interest in trad archery. For his birthday, I’m hoping to get him setup with a beginner bow and gear. Neither of his parents hunt or into archery. I’m hoping to find a reputable shop in the northern VA area or Maryland... something within an hour or so drive of D.C. Does anybody have a recommendations for bow shops in the area that can help a kid out from the ground up?

These two do a lot of youth bows.  They are long time Sponsors, and would work with you and give your expert advice on your needs for youth bows, arrows and gear.....

Lancaster Archery is not too far away. Fort Belvoir (right between Alexandria and Lorton) has a great archery center with some very knowledgeable people who shoot trad.

Thanks for the info! I didn't realize that Lancaster is about 1.5 hours away from them. They will be helping him out!
