We also manufacture the "Mini" bowquiver here at this facility.

If you get a chance, come see us. Bring your bow, or we can loan you one to shoot.

There is a shop in China Grove about 20 miles east of Mooresville that twin sisters run but it too is 95% compound stuff. Almost 100% of the trad gear I've bought has come from 3 rivers or kustom king. I know it is alot more fun to walk around a shop where you can touch and feel things but I'm sorry to say you'll be dissapointed at least in that aspect of your visit.

It would be well worth your trip. They carry a fair amount of traditional supplies at their shop. You could also check out their line of custom longbows and recurves. You will not meet better people than Ben and Linda. If you could time your visit in the afternoon you might even get an invite for supper and Linda's cooking alone would be well worth the trip from Alaska. They also have a nice 3D range out back. Give them a call. The phone number is (704)436-2509. God bless, Scott.

Post by: The Night Stalker on February 03, 2007, 11:24:00 PM: Sorry, nothing that I know of. We have a monthly shoot. Do a search for Carolina Traditional Archers.

Post by: 2fletch on February 04, 2007, 10:19:00 AM: Mark, I'll second what The Night Stalker said. February 10th at the Carolina Archery Club is the time and place to be. They know how to roast a pig, and I believe that first time visitors get a free pass to shoot and eat. (You can bill me if I'm wrong.)

What Scott said about Ben and Linda Graham is a good idea also. Ben makes a great bow. (He ought to pay me for all the times I've said that.) Just one word of advice. Don't get into a shooting contest with Linda.

Post by: ckanous on February 06, 2007, 07:56:00 PM: There is a place in Kannapolis called Poor Boys Achery. They are east of Mooresville maybe 20-30 mins. Never been there just seen them at a shoot and picked up one of theyre fliers. Look it up in the phone book when you get to town and give them a call. I tried to go by there one time but ran short on time and didn't make it. If I happen to get by there I will get you some directions. I think they mainly build bows and arrows not much retail.
