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 .
