I know of none . Not enough money in it for the shops . Some shops might have a couple on the wall but you'll need to call around . All my trad gear comes from on-line stores. You might try contacting a couple archery clubs and see if any of their trad shooters would help you out . Flint Tip in Enumclaw has a lot of trad shooters and they are some really great people . You could try to contact them through facebook  . I think there are quite a few trad shooters at Silver Arrow Bowmen in Monroe . You could also go to a Trad 3d shoot and check things out . I know one thing about trad shooters , they love to talk gear and are always willing to help . If your ever in the Auburn area you are more than welcome to try out a couple of my longbows .

Riverside Archery keeps a few in stock.  They are usually well stocked with the Samic Sage in  Rh LH  and many different poundage. I settled on a 45lb sage and enjoyed shooting it. Jason shoots some Trade and can help you out.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
