I will have to agree on the Nocking Point.  Nothing fancy!  Just a big shed full of just about any trad equip you could want, great people, and great prices!  

Just wish he wasn't so far out in the country!

I'll vote for Nixie, MO and the Widow factory, maybe not as much stuff as others but it is right next door to work and a great bunch of guys!

Lots of good shops out there. Done business with quite a few of them. KK, 3R's, Nocking Point, Raptor. Would like to try Footed Shaft and some more. I need to take a major road trip.  :readit:

If you want an 'experience' like no other, try 4 Peaks Archery in Mesa, Az. The owner is, well, different, but he has a bunch of good trad stuff. Hope you like beer.   :eek:

Lamont Granger and the Footed Shaft is a great place to stop in while in Rochester, Minnesota.

I think Mike at the Nocking Point is a class act and very knowledgeable.

Another vote for Ted at Raptor Archery, great guy, goes out of his way to help you.  We have all been out shoveling snow/slop lately.

If your in Vancouver, Wa. or Portland, OR.  Call Brock at Bull Mountain Archery he has everything you need and good conversation always ensues during a visit.

I have to say leaving Valley Traditional archery (Silt, Co.) off the list would be a shame. Dick and Nancy are great people and run a great shop!

Haven't been to the others mentioned and I am sure they are nice, but I can speak VERY highly of Lamont at the Footed Shaft.  A fine gentleman, with a wealth of knowledge and a very nice archery shop!  When my Dad was really sick and at Mayo in Rochester, he let me hang out there from time to time, even in the middle of the winter with his heat broken he was open and welcomed me in.

I've dealt with a number of Trad Gang Vendors - 3 Rivers, Kustom King, Ron LaClair, Alaska Bowhunting Supply, Raptor Archery - just to name a few of the shops that carry an extensive line of Trad stuff (not to mention the specialty businesses) with only the best of service.  I've been on Trad Gang since just about the start and really try to support the vendors here.

That being said - I can't say too much about my experiences with Lamont Granger at The Footed Shaft. I live in MN - so I've only got a 1 1/2 hour drive - but like Lefty's Dad - my wife was in the Mayo a number of years ago (the Footed Shaft is only about 10 minutes from there) - Lamont's hospitality and knowledge (not to mention his incredible collection of Bear Bows) made a difficult time more tolerable. He also offered to let me watch a really cool VHS of Paul Schafer on a number of hunts - he just said "bring it back when you are done" - pretty darn cool!

Here in Michigan we have a little shop in Sand Lake (just north of Grand Rapids), called Traditional Outdoor Supply.
Great little shop with all your needs, run by a good man Tom Hackbaart.

If I had Tom to deal with that close to home, I'd not even think of dealing with anybody else....shame on you!! Seriously, Jim Pyles of J.E.P. Enterprises Traditional Archery Shop of St. Mary, MO is a great guy to deal with, too.

Allegheny Archers was a great one near Butler PA.  Unfortunately they've closed shop.  It was nice while it lasted.
