Title: Wisconsin Trad shops
Post by: BDann on July 22, 2013, 05:28:00 PM
I've got a couple of friends in Sparta, Wisconsin that are wanting to get into archery.  Does anyone know of any shops nearby that have traditional gear?

The closest one I know of is The Footed Shaft in Rochester, MN. Dwyer Longbows is just down the road in Holmen, as far as bowyers go.

Whew, I thought for a minute maybe you moved!

I was going to tell you to pick up Nathan on your way down for the javi hunt!

Too far north for me! That would be a serious road trip-Wisconsin to Laredo, through Arkansas.

The Footed Shaft in Rochester, MN is definitely the closest truly traditional shop.  Great guys there and they have a nice selection of used bows too!

I'll send them over to the Footed Shaft.  They were talking about getting into archery, and I think I have them convinced that traditional is way more fun.  They are stationed at the army base there, and it doesn't look like a very long drive.  Thanks for the help.

The Footed Shaft is well worth the road trip.  Great shop run by good people, and they will have everything I guy could need.
