The Longbow Shop expands - big thanks to you all!

#1 Post by jaselpool » Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:42 pm

Hi all

I've been very busy the last few months expanding The Longbow Shop here in the UK. It's been a hell of a ride but we are finally there! 1,400sqft of retail premises with a shooting range and filled to the brim with trad only products :)

I'd like to take the opportunity to say a massive thanks to Jeff and everyone here that helped me bring this dream into reality. If it wasn't for all your help all those years ago and the wealth of available info here I wouldn't have found the path I've trodden so cheers guys (raises a glass or 3!).

You can find pics of the shop (and me second guy behind the counter) here:

Cheers guys

Jase

Well done Jason,

The number of longbows on display is impressive.
May the new shop serve you well.

Morning All.

This does seem that long ago. http://www.ozbow.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.p ... 28&p=25936 And we are still waiting for photos of the bow. :D

Thanks for that fellas :)

5 years seems such a long time ago! It's great and couldn't be happier. Been hard work and lots of hours to get to this point but well worth it. Those pics were a couple of weeks ago so we have a lot more stock in now. There's another 70 english longbows couple of Grozer horsebow ranges and more Falco bows on their way in the next 2 weeks!

We'll need more space soon lol

Next on the list is a nice big field to go and play in :)

Jase, You will have to get your wife (I think it was) to take some more photos of the shop and bows etc for us to see. I remember she was an excellent photographer.

PLEASE! :D
