[Moo] Combat Archery

[Janie Darby]

Marco,

You might also try Eric Franques at No Frontiers Archery in Falls Church 
(www.nofrontiersarchery.com) He's not SCAdian, but is a traditional archer, 
a good friend of ours, and has merchanted at Kingdom Archery on occasion 
(and provides arrows to one of the Pennsic merchants). He stocks Martin and 
Bear bows and also generally has a supply of used bows and generally keeps 
an eye out for bows suitable to our needs. If he doesn't have one, he may be 
able to point you in the right direction. And his prices are generally very 
reasonable.

Briana
