Where ya is in OHIO??

I know that without even opening the book. 4

Bass Pro, Cabelas, Sportsmans' Warehouse - all the same thing, outdoors department stores with archery departments. And the old Nix Shooting Supplies in Lewisville. It's under new ownership and a different name now, but I'll never be able to call it anything but Nix.[&:]

The shop I used to shoot for, T&Sons in Denton, closed it's doors once the old man passed away. Sure do miss the place.

There are a lot more in the area, but you've got to drive all the way into Dallas or Fort Worth to get to them.

if i had a phonebook id look...but i vividly remember dad throwing it out last week for some odd reason.

but....17 hoyt dealers within 50miles
14 bowtech dealers
and 6 Mathews dealers within 35 miles...*funny some guy at work tried telling my mathews dealers HAD to be 50+ miles apart!)

now...some are the same...but thats atleast 17 shops within 50 miles (could be more...i just picked the big 3) of here...plus a couple dick's sporting goods, gander mountain, cabelas within an hour or 2 drive....

Hmmm... there are 4 Gander mountain stores within an hour drive, at least6-10 bow pro shops within an hour, and probably a half-dozen more (smaller places) that I don't even know about. There's a gun/sport/bait shop around every corner - it's pretty ridiculous. Cabelas isan hour away.There are 13 D__k's Sporting Goods stores listed in the Pittsburgh area - all mostly an hour away.

SW PA has got to be one of the top areas in the country forgross sales of hunting equipment.

We have 3 local shops in the immediate area, plus 1 chain store. There is also another about 1/2 hour away. There is also another couple in NY, but they are not in our phone book.
So... 5
They all specialize in differen lines. One carries Hoyt & Matthews. Another Bowtech & Martin, Another Parker... etc.

2, both 30 min from the house, one north/one south. lets just say the guys north havent treated me right so i head south

I have four around me.

A-1 Archery, Backwoods Archery, Bwana Archery, and Schaffer Archery.

Phone book shows one, and it is an hour away, there is one in town here, but it isn't listed, and there is another one a little over an hour away not listed.
