trad shops in cali

[FerretWYO]

Hey all I am looking for some trad shops or just archery shops in or around LA. Thought maybe there would be someone here who could help.

Ferret,

I live in this concrete hell hole and the best you'll find is an old stickbow propped up in the corner of some Hi Tech archery shop that the proprietor can't get rid of.....if you're coming to LA to find a Trad shop I'd say don't bother...seems like those wheelie bows with the Titanium plated gadgets are better suited for doing drive-by shootings so fond of by the LA crowd...

If you can find yout way to Tustin in Orange County try FS Discount arrow supply on Walnut Ave.  Chris will take good care of you there.
Thank God for 3 Rivers

I love this hell hole. If you don't like it then move out. We can use less traffic.
Mike is right - it's hard to find trad stuffs sometimes and I am sure it's the same way in a lot of places. That is why places like 3Rivers exist.

In anycase, here are some archery shops around and near the city:

Archery Sports
2976 E. Los Angles Ave.
Simi Valley, CA. 93065
805-577-0335
Never been to this one but I heard they have a good inventory

DC Archery
320 W. Huntington Dr. Monrovia, CA.
626-359-6182
dcarchery@verizon.net
Tiny place but you can buy the basics - feathers, points and they can order whatever you need.

F / S Discount Archery  
2852 Walnut Ave, Unit ""A"" Tustin, CA. 92780
800-824-8261

HI – TECH ARCHERY
1912 West Commonwealth Ave.
Fullerton, CA 92833
714-449-9744
Large archery store with some Samick and Hoyt recurves. I also saw some Quinn Comets in there. You can buy almost everything here.

Orange County Archery
E-Mail: info@orangecountyarchery.com
18792 Brookhurst St
Fountain Valley, CA 92708
Phone:714-965-1125
Not in my experience but this is suppose to be a real friendly place and they will let you try everybow in the store... so I heard

Willow Creek Archery
525 N. Andreasen Dr. Suite M
Escondido CA 92029
760-432-0605
willowcreekarchery@sbcglobal.net
It's been more than 10 years since I have been here but this is the place that got me into shooting recurves. Back then the store was selling all kinds of longbows and recurves.

Willow Creek in Escondido is pretty much San Diego a short 1.5 hour drive south of LA.  They don't have much there for trad but I wouldn't leave them off the list.  10 minutes south, I'll add:

Performance Archery
8390 Miramar Pl Ste C
San Diego, CA 92121
858-450-9454

If you're every in San Diego I'd recommend Performance Archery above all other shops in the area.
