The only place I know of that carries a decent amount of trad gear is the Bow Shop in Waterloo. Bass Pro in Vaughn carries a very small amount of traditional equipment.

Hey guys from ontario... it's nice to see more trad guys in the area. as you all know getting trad gear in canada really sucks.
Hey harl, I'm in Barrie too.. it would be great to get together and shoot the breeze over a Timmy's.
Cheers.

Hi guys good to hear from others in the province. Myself I have given up trying to get anything locally and order from Kustom King and 3 Rivers, the high dollar sure helps. I stopped in at Bass Pro but after seing broadheads at more than double U.S prices that was enough to order online instead. All the best fellows.

Archer nook has a few odds and ends you can get online.  I agree that the dollar sure makes me shop around online a lot more.

I'm like Northern T...I just order from 3Rivers now. You just can't find much around here. i'm close to the US border (Sarnia area) so I can get the stuff fairly easy. I have a shipping address right across the border.

Guys, The Archers Nook in London carries a fair bit. Look them up they have a web site. Herb that Gil mentioned is a great guy and can get anything you need. Herb ships quick, I got a vario clipper and some silver flames from him couple weeks back.

Charlie, I sent ya a private message! Ya gotta remember the Mattagami Motor Inn Event!!!

The Bow Shop is the only place around here to get anything decent for us trad boys.  Wolfs Den will order you what you want but you got to wait. Anyone of you guys shoot the 3d at the Wolfs Den? Nice course and the people at the Den are top notch.  Would be nice to get out and shoot with fellow tradgangers in Southern Ontario.
Im all tagged out for this year.  How my Ontario brothers  doing??

The Bow Shop or Archer's nook when I am in a pinch.  Otherwise, I bring it up from the States when I am down there.

Ontario Longbow sent me an email from a guy named Kevin Tallon.  He has started a trad store up in Echo Bay (Sault Ste Marie, ON) area called Tallon Archery.  I have never used him though.

One down so far, can get up to 3 more tags I can fill in my area.

Dang thats bad news Charlie. You guys from the north shoulda had it declared a Historical Site.

That storys been told over and over many a times, one of those nights you just never forget. Got your email, Kerr is out west chasing whitetails in Manitoba. His Polar Bear mount is quite the piece. Charlie, check out the texas sweat Forums here, I drive down every year, it`s a great hunt if you ever want to tag along keep it in mind. Say high to Cliff for me, I`m always wondering how you guys are doing. Next time you head south or towards Murphys call me I`ll drive up and buy lunch!

Archers Nook in London carries a pretty good supply of trad stuff. Prices are pretty good as well. Check them out on the web, they price in both Can$ and US$ on their site.
