Does anyone know if he is still in business and what the phone number is?  Thanks for your time, Jim

Last i heard he sold out to a guy. If you need to talk to him you could probably look him up on here.

Yes Bob sold the business to a guy named Trout, but he frequents these forums occationally.

It's a shame he sold his business. I sure miss taking advantage of him.  

He went out of his way to help his customers and get them started. I think everyone in SW PA can truely call Bob a friend.

I visited his shop on his last day and was his very last customer. He GAVE me a bow to help my pastor get started in archery. Pretty cool guy.

He sold the business to Ken Trout of Trout Outdoors. Now Ken gets my business.

I just spoke with Bob yesterday and put in an order with him??? He didn't say anything about a change in ownership.

he definitely sold his business. no doubt about it.

Bob and Cindy were the first full service vendors to attend our rendezvous in Ohio. Really miss having them over!

Bob sold his business to Ken and Kelley Trout. They opened a shop a few miles down the road from Bob. Web address is troutoutdoors.com.

Ken and Kelley picked up right where Bob and Cindy let off. Have full confidence doing business here as you did with Bob.

Ken is making some great wood arrows also and has used bows in stock.

Ken is also attending many of the same shoots that Bob attended.

I am working on adding product to their website and am way, way behind schedule but hope to have something up for them soon.

I met Ken and Kelley when I was out in PA visiting with friends over the fourth of July, great guy and as said above he has picked up where Bob left off after he sold the business.  Always enjoyed stopping in and talking with Bob when I am out there, spent quite a few nights shooting bows in the headlights of his truck, and I had that same feeling and when I met Ken that he knew what he was doing and loved the traditional world.

Bob is a great guy!

I didn't know who he sold to.  Now that I do I will be giving them some business in the future!

You may have been dealing with Hildebrand Arrow Shafts. This is Bob Hildenbrand, with an "n".
