The two we used to have here in Texarkana closed down years ago. There's a couple still around within a 30 mile radius. Fortunately, one of the owners is a traditional shooter. That gives us a little variety of expertises (is that really a word?)

Sad thing is, it's happening all over, not just in the archery business. One of my best friends had an auto parts store that gave EXCELLENT customer service, could usually have a part by that afternoon if it wasn't in stock, but he just couldn't compete with the AutoZones, Advance Auto's, O'Reilly's, etc.

So much for the Mom-n-Pop operations.
