Wilcox Bait and Tackle in Newport News is awesome. Might be too far but it is an excellent pro shop. Ask for Tom.

NewPort news is about 4 hours away from Alexandria without much traffic on I95-with typical i95 mess, add an hour or more


Try B&B pro-shop in Manassas- They have had a change of ownership recently-considerably for the better according to my buddy back home who has been a customer for many years.

I used to live only a 1/2 mile from B and B archery. Even with the old owners the service was excellent. The old guy that ran the shop was kind and considerate. He offered me many times for free and did little jobs on my bow for next to nothing. I owe him a lot. I haven't been there for years but I will use them in the next couple of years to restring my bow.

If you are having trouble you could take it to bass pro shops in Baltimore, MD or come down to Fredericksburg and Gander Mountain. Both those shops are only 1 hour away from you if you don't choose to use B and B archery in Manassas.

There use to be a shop on RT 1 called BOWS and ARROWS around where South Kings Highway met RT 1. The last time I was there was a while ago so I don't even know if they are still there. I justed google northern virginia archery shops and got their link....

I really wasn't too please with them the last time, I really didn't like B & B either, so I usually take my bow out to Hoffman Archery on RT 29 in New Baltimore, halfway between Gainesville and Warrenton.

Yes, both of the "B"s were EXTREMELY nice folks. I even bought a couple bows from them before I moved up here. My issue was that I saw some extremely wonky bow work out of them and the "knowledge" left something to be desired (saw alot of bad advice and completely wrong answers given). My buddy was constantly having me walk him through fixes to his bow over the phone, had me building his arrows and mailing them to him, and even brought his bow up here to sort it out when they really screwed it up.

You could cross the WIlson Bridge into Md, take the Beltway to Rt 5 S. Rt. 5 will become 301 S. This will take you to Waldorf. Fred's Sporting Goods will be on your right, just past the Ace Hardware Store. Joe can take care of ya. Probably about a half hour drive from the Wilson Bridge, give or take for traffic.

Here is another one for B and B. I know the current owner and he will treat you right.
