Title: ordering from irondale longbows?
Post by: Peter-t123 on November 20, 2011, 02:15:31 pm: hi, i was wondering exactly how you go about placing an order with this company, the website doesnt make it 100% clear, and while it lists an email address, ive tried emailing but havent received a reply, and there isnt a contact phone number. Does anyone have a phone number for this company or had any experience buying off them?

Cheers, Peter

If i cant get in contact with irondale, can anyone recommend any other company/maker that can make a basic warbow around the £200 mark in time for christmas? (i am aware the answer to this is probably, there arent any.)

wasn't going to sell it, just if he got me the materials i would take care of the rest, but he is not in the US, so it wouldn't be realistic shipping wise, plenty of other options though
good luck

I would consider heritage archery - I suspect they represent the best value out there for something that won't explode and possibly injure you but its a bit above you're quoted limit. Another good company to deal with is Nidderdale archery. They are great for shafts and such - don't know about their bows but based on how they've looked after me on other things, worth a call.

if £200 is your limit though, you may be stuck with 'pre enjoyed' bows. Nothing wrong with that - just got to keep your eyes peeled!

The man i spoke to on the phone couldnt have been more helpful and said he would pick out a set of shafts. to make sure i got good ones.
