Check out Bob Hildenbrand's Old School Archery.

He's in Madison PA, near New Stanton, right off rt 70. Not too far from Pittsburgh.

I thought Bob sold out of his shop a couple of years ago? I could be misinformed though.

Bob decided to cut back on setting up at shoots and enjoy shooting like the rest of us. His shop is in his home and it is still going strong.

Well I found Bob's shop today after stopping at the post office and asking the clerk if he knew where the shop was.  As luck would have it, Bob's wife happened to be in the post office and had me follow her to the house.  

Bob spent two hours with me getting me squared away.  We shot many different weight field points in the back yard and cut down my full length arrows until we had really good flight.  

Bob's a stand up guy and has a wealth of information.  I wish there was a shop like that around here.

If you read this, thanks again Bob.
