I live in huntsville, al. I was just curious if there are any clubs or groups in the area that an aspiring traditionalist could join or visit. Seems like all the shops up here are compound for the most part.

lots of traditional archery here.LoneWolf73,on here lives close to you ,his name is kim ,great guy that has alot of archery stuff ,jim gainey , of blackcreek bows,lives by smithlake ..look up astb.net there are some shoots.also the howard hill classic in june ,alot of  top quality vendors will be there.contact terry harris on here .
also since you live close to tenn. twin oaks is coming up it would be a couple hours drive..

I Have the same question too.I live in Daphne,close to mobile.Can't find any clubs.If you find yourself over here though I ve got a nice target set up in my backyard!

Hey Eminart,I live in Huntsville,thats all me and my buddys shoot is trad. We dont have any trad shops. We go stumping all the time.We do go to some shoots in Tenn and Ala. Be glad to have ya go with us.

rjackson, glad to hear there are a few around. My wife is going to "surprise" me with a longbow for father's day. I may meet up with you guys once I get it set up. I was an avid 3d shooter in my compound days. I'd probably enjoy shooting a few with a stick bow.

Scott,
Give me a call sometime. Live in Meridianville just North on Hwy231, when Huntsville runs out. Work on the Arsenal. I have more Trad stuff than an Archery shop. Ya never know what I'll have because I do alot of trading. My shooting range is 62# or less and shoot Primarily Left but starting shooting Right two years ago. I have 40+ bows to shoot so come on by. Only thing is I work 3-11pm so that cuts down on being social for most "Day" workers.

Yeah, we'll have to meet up some time. I'm actually working in meridianville now in a hangar at the airport. This is probably my last week out here before going back to huntsville though. But yeah, my work schedule is the opposite of yours. I usually get off work at 3-3:30.

lots of "trad" guys in Alabama,  im in Birmingham/Jasper,   but there are no trad only shops that I am aware of.

I've heard that Byron Ferguson is in Hartselle. Does he have a shop/range/anything?

Scott, Look out your door to the East. See that sub-division> That is where I live. The 46 acres is behind house in the creek system bordering Airport property. What ya doing for lunch this week? Burn something on the grill........

Byron does live in Hartselle and shoots in his yard but doesn't have a 'public range' or shop.  There are a lot more trad folks in the area than you would think.

Hey Lonewolf73,I would like to come up i got a bunch of bows. I like trading.

Ha! It's a small world. I usually only get 30-45 minutes for lunch so I don't know if I'd have time for that.

I'm in Decatur! Not much around for shops with traditional equipment. There are a few guys around into the sport though. Holler if I can help you on your trad archery journey! chase.jones87@gmail.com

i am in town creek but work in decatur,i shoot a lot in my yard and do astb and twin oaks and a wheelie buddy of mine has a range in moulton that i go to if he is having a shoot and i am off,i work rotating shift,there is also a range in priceville too both are mostly compound but they aren't crowded and are a great bunch to shoot with.

No, I looked over there when I first joined, but I was under the impression it was just a place for posting upcoming events. I'll check it out again.
