Finally found one
« on: February 23, 2015, 11:33:00 AM »
Sense the traditional archery shop near me closed this past fall , I have been looking for a place that is trad friendly .
I have been to a place that was very out spoken against trad , another place thought trad is neat but there ceiling in the range is only 7 feet and I couldn't shoot my long bow without canting past 45* . I did hit my top limb once and I couldn't shoot for beans after that .
But yesterday I found an old mom n pops sport shop 17 miles from my house . I have drove by there hundreds of times not noticing the attached pole barn .
I stopped in to see what kind of stock they might have , you know ,like things that are no longer available because those kind of places have things from many years ago .
Well they have a very nice indoor range with 20 foot ceilings and 10 lanes .
The owner is wanting to get a trad league started .    :goldtooth:  
He doesn't stock trad bows but will order anything I might want . Not one negative comment at all .
How cool is that .

That's great. I don't know of a strictly traditional shop around here. The gentleman I've dealt with the most here over the years has shot trad for a long time, and is very knowledgeable about it. I stopped at another shop one day for something or other, and had my longbow with me. The owner wanted to shoot it through a crono to prove to me how worthless it was for hunting. The string wasn't on it, so he put it on and strung it BACKWARDS.   :rolleyes:  He stood there looking at it knowing something wasn't right, but not sure what it was. I thanked him for his time and left. Haven't been back since.
