Question:
would favor a retail setting, but we have no place closer than an hour and a half away. In my youth i might have ordered such things from Herter's or Bean's. Any suggestions on where to go now?
Answer:
I do almost all of my archery/bowhunting purchases mail order. I'm sure that you will find that a lot of the traditional archers do because of a lack of availablity at local dealers.
There are several suppliers who supply youth equipment, probably one of the best is Three Rivers Archery. They have a web site at www.3riversarchery.com. They have their complete catalog online, and they would be happy to send you one. I'm still a little leary myself of buying "online", but they have online ordering available
