Going to Niagra Falls in August to visit family AND pick up my new MojoStik!    

Is there any good TRAD shops between Maine and there? I'm gonna hit the Cabela's in Scarborough, ME on the way down from New Brunswick at least.

TTT

Nothing that I'm aware of here around Niagara Falls ('States side).... its all internet shopping for me.

Another 5 or so hrs on the rd and you could visit Bob Morrison's shop.

There may be some venders at the Hawkeye shoot held in aug if the date's line up.It's not as big as Denton but a very nice shoot just the same and is about an hr from the falls maybe less.

I'm in western NY and don't recall any trad shops anywhere close by most cater to wheels and even those shops have dwindled some in recent yrs

Good luck and have a safe enjoyable trip

Thanks Swampbuck...

When and where is the Hawkeye shoot? I'll be in the Falls around the 8-9-10th of August.
That's another idea...maybe I could visit a bowyer's shop or something.......any suggestions in that area?

Hawkeye is the 14-15 & 16th of Aug. this year.
about an hour South east of the falls is Northwind Archery bow shop in Towanda I think. I'd have confirm that if you were interested.

Tom, Are you going to Hawkeye this year?

JOHN

Northwind?????I've heard of those! Nice rigs if I recall.
MAn! why can't I go ONE WEEK LATER!!!oh yeahhh...I have the kids for vacation then.
And don't even think that they'd like to join me at a TRAD shoot!

For the record, its "Tonawanda".....

Are you going to be States side or on the Canadian side?

Dang Wendall - I'm going to be at the Muzzy shoot that weekend or I'd invite you to stop by. We still should try to get together. PM me if you're interested.

State side, got family there....Tonawanda is only about 8-10 miles from my Uncle's place... Only got Friday til Monday (4 days) 2 of those driving...

As your going down I-90(thruway)and ya go by the Batavia exit your within 15 min's of me, bbassi and wapiti chaser (Bob Brown)Not sure what I have going on that weekend but anybody from here is more than welcome at my house.

Yea I'd like to go to hawkeye ofcourse I havn't made camping reservations LOL but it isn't that far a drive.I've got a wedding the following weekend and my 25th anniversary in between so I'll hafta see.Most likely I'll at least make a day probably both Sat and Sun

Swampbuck....well if time allows maybe we can make it happen. Also We'll see!

Yeah I got the original spelling wrong. Tonawanda it is.  Geeze. I drive right by the front door to the Northwind shop every time I get down that way to visit a friend. You'd think I'd have it right by now!    

Actually, the Northwind shop is not in Tonawanda.
It's south of Batavia on Rt.98

Hey Easternarcher u prob know but there is rodney wrights shop in quebec on ur way through to other then that here in ontario im yet to  find a trad shop and i was just out near u on vacation for 10 days lol

Hay forget about the Trad shops in Niagara! The Italian food is to die for. Just driving thru town at meal time is a treat with all the heavenly smells coming from the restaurants
Bob

Twisted, I won't be going thru Quebec, so R.Wright's is not in the picture. I'm in New Brunswick so I'll come down thru Maine and across NH and Vermont...As the crow flies man! shortest route possible.

BTW, Twisted...check out "Valin Bows" it's a trad shop on Quebec's Gaspe Penninsula...Google it. Nice bows, but a bit pricey. Also what about Missippi Lakes...aren't they in Ontario somewhere?

Tom,
     I'm not sure if it's a Trad. shop or just the shop where he makes his bows.
Northwind Archery. He is one of the first major bow maker/vendors at Hawkeye.  His name escapes me at the moment but he makes some nice recurves and flat bows.

JOHN

Mystikbow, if you think of his name or contact #, let me know...I'd love to look him up when I'm down there. I think I'm gonna be very close to there.
