Despite being tucked away, the place is awesome and Gary is extremely knowledgable and helpful. Highly recommend, just make sure you call first!
It's dark, cramped and I love it. This is the kind of place I will tell people in 30 years of. The selection of products is fantastic and Gary. Gary is a gem of a human being. He is kind, polite and very entertaining. I travelled an hour to buy a bow from him and talking to him alone made it worth it. He engaged me in conversation and storytelling, was beyond knowledgeable regarding his wares. If I lived closer to the shop I would stop in just to talk to the man.
BBA quick sumup
This is Gary's special place
Gary =cold personality+archery love
= awesome place surprisingly hard to find or appreciate, despite being such a Damn gem

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Gary. I'm a beginner and I was looking to buy my first bit of gear. He spent about an hour and half with me going through what every was, what I needed, what I didn't, what he does, what he doesn't do and the history of the sport. I highly recommend that you visit Gary before anyone else.
It's very important to call ahead though as the place is a little tricky to find if you haven't been there before.
Gary has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion in the field of archery, his shop has anything bow related for all levels of experiences, whether you want to make your own bow to a finished bow in many draw weights to suit many archers. I went there to get a English longbow kit to finish myself, left there with everything I needed and had a few good laughs with Gary over some good conversation.
When you go there do not judge a book this book by the cover, it is the diamond in the rough.
