Arthur,

Are the hip boots for the swamps where trad hunters like to hunt their deer? Or, is it to keep his clothes clean from some of the liberal spreading of fertilizer? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

For trad sites, I would recommend: http://www.bowjackson.com

There you will find an extensive list of bowyers as well as an extensive list of traditional gear suppliers.

Two sites I would recommend you look at is www.recurves.com (or Champion Bowstrings) and American Leathers. American Leathers has the best shooting glove I have ever seen. It gives a very crisp release and the fingers do not feel any pinch at all like the Damascus gloves. At recurves.com you will see some excellent bows at very reasonable prices.
