I'm heading up that way on Friday afternoon and will be there Saturday and Sunday. Are there are trad archery shops in close proximity? I've already communicated with Roger at Black Widow and am trying to work it out where I can meet someone there on Saturday. Anything else up in that area that anyone can recommend?

Branson is about 45 miles from Springfield, MO area (Black Widow Bows) and 95 miles from Fayetteville, AR (Dick Palmer's traditional only archery shop). The only problem is one is north of Branson and the other is south. If Mr. Palmer is still open for business, I believe he closes around 2:00 or 2:30 on Saturdays.
BW in Nixa MO would defenitely be worth the trip.
While your there check out Branson Archery. They are supposed to have some bows made by Scorpion Bows, a sponsor here, on hand. Check out Scorpion Bows on the Sponsor list. They have a link on their site with info.
If ya make it there let me know how their flatbows shoot. I'm wantin' to try one of those.
Good luck...
If you get a little farther north and are interested in a cheap shooter, the Bass Pro Outlet has two new Martin X150's hanging up. One was 50# and one 55#, $120 apiece. A Bear Super Mag was $140 and I "think" it was a 55#, but missing the coin.
Definetly go to Black Widow, it's about a 30-45 min drive from Branson. Also, take your bow to Branson Archery, they have a nice indoor range.
I've already talked to the guy at Black Widow and am hopefully meeting someone there Saturday morning... :saywhat:
Oh boy......
Here's a guy who'd "bow poor" and he's gonna go visit Black Widows shop.....
I can hear it now, "Honey, where's the checkbook??"
