RE: Gold Tip shafts
Yeah, Tom is selling a lot of his personal stuff and actually sold most of it to archeryhistory.com which is owned by Martin as display pieces. It was bought by Mario Pennacchia. The shop was running under Tom's ownership for over 50 years.......somewhat of a legacy and the oldest shop known of in the country. The new owner didn't want to see the name put to rest so he purchased it in February and re opened in April after Tom closed in December.
Townsend still competes and is in tight w/ Hoyt and is still on their national staff. Don Howard (my first coach) and Al Arpin work at the shop with me, you may remember them from Guan Ho Ha. We moved to a better location as well and are now located under B&J Guns, aka American Shooter Supply, aka B&T Guns (they changed ownership too). We are still on central ave, just closer to schenectady west of the northway about 2 miles. If your in the area ever, stop in or PM me and I will give you directions.
