Going to Niagra Falls in August to visit family AND pick up my new MojoStik! :bigsmyl:
Is there any good TRAD shops between Maine and there? I'm gonna hit the Cabela's in Scarborough, ME on the way down from New Brunswick at least.
TTT
Nothing that I'm aware of here around Niagara Falls ('States side).... its all internet shopping for me.
BobW
Another 5 or so hrs on the rd and you could visit Bob Morrison's shop.
There may be some venders at the Hawkeye shoot held in aug if the date's line up.It's not as big as Denton but a very nice shoot just the same and is about an hr from the falls maybe less.
I'm in western NY and don't recall any trad shops anywhere close by most cater to wheels and even those shops have dwindled some in recent yrs
Good luck and have a safe enjoyable trip
Thanks Swampbuck...
When and where is the Hawkeye shoot? I'll be in the Falls around the 8-9-10th of August.
That's another idea...maybe I could visit a bowyer's shop or something.......any suggestions in that area?
Hawkeye is the 14-15 & 16th of Aug. this year.
about an hour South east of the falls is Northwind Archery bow shop in Towanda I think. I'd have confirm that if you were interested.
Tom, Are you going to Hawkeye this year?
JOHN
Northwind?????I've heard of those! Nice rigs if I recall.
MAn! why can't I go ONE WEEK LATER!!!oh yeahhh...I have the kids for vacation then.
And don't even think that they'd like to join me at a TRAD shoot!
For the record, its "Tonawanda".....
Are you going to be States side or on the Canadian side?
Dang Wendall - I'm going to be at the Muzzy shoot that weekend or I'd invite you to stop by. We still should try to get together. PM me if you're interested.

State side, got family there....Tonawanda is only about 8-10 miles from my Uncle's place... Only got Friday til Monday (4 days) 2 of those driving...
As your going down I-90(thruway)and ya go by the Batavia exit your within 15 min's of me, bbassi and wapiti chaser (Bob Brown)Not sure what I have going on that weekend but anybody from here is more than welcome at my house.
Yea I'd like to go to hawkeye ofcourse I havn't made camping reservations LOL but it isn't that far a drive.I've got a wedding the following weekend and my 25th anniversary in between so I'll hafta see.Most likely I'll at least make a day probably both Sat and Sun
Swampbuck....well if time allows maybe we can make it happen. Also We'll see!
Yeah I got the original spelling wrong. Tonawanda it is. Geeze. I drive right by the front door to the Northwind shop every time I get down that way to visit a friend. You'd think I'd have it right by now! :banghead:
Actually, the Northwind shop is not in Tonawanda.
It's south of Batavia on Rt.98
Hey Easternarcher u prob know but there is rodney wrights shop in quebec on ur way through to other then that here in ontario im yet to find a trad shop and i was just out near u on vacation for 10 days lol
Hay forget about the Trad shops in Niagara! The Italian food is to die for. Just driving thru town at meal time is a treat with all the heavenly smells coming from the restaurants
Bob

Twisted, I won't be going thru Quebec, so R.Wright's is not in the picture. I'm in New Brunswick so I'll come down thru Maine and across NH and Vermont...As the crow flies man! shortest route possible.
BTW, Twisted...check out "Valin Bows" it's a trad shop on Quebec's Gaspe Penninsula...Google it. Nice bows, but a bit pricey. Also what about Missippi Lakes...aren't they in Ontario somewhere?
Tom,
I'm not sure if it's a Trad. shop or just the shop where he makes his bows.
Northwind Archery. He is one of the first major bow maker/vendors at Hawkeye. His name escapes me at the moment but he makes some nice recurves and flat bows.
JOHN
Mystikbow, if you think of his name or contact #, let me know...I'd love to look him up when I'm down there. I think I'm gonna be very close to there.
Wendell,
I'll see what I can dig up for ya.
Wendell,
I sent you some info. to your PM box.
I'm not sure that I could post it out here in public. Let me know how you make out.
JOHN

PM recieved....Thanks John
I just had a good laugh! While searching for the addy that MystikBow sent me, I came upon and area called Wendleville just a few miles down the road from Northwind! How cool is that!!!
Wendleville - Yep, right here in good old Western NY. And to boost your "ego" a bit more, the engineering firm I used to work for is named - you guessed it - Wendel (the forgot one of the L's).

Macassar Ebony riser with a Cocobolo flair and boo accent strips along the Coco'.. It'll have matching overlays on the riser back, and Cocobolo veneers in the limbs with ....yes, Bamboo core.

REALLY???? :scared:
Assuming he makes it alive which isn't likely it'll cost a heck of a lot more in fine's than 30$ :biglaugh:
Now what about sending an arrow from the USA to Canada I'm thinking it'd make it over the falls
