Who Are We??

---

My name’s David, and I’m from Lawrenceburg—better known as Whiskey City—Indiana.

Like a lot of folks, I started shooting a bow when I was young. What began as messing around turned into a lifelong passion. Give me the woods, a bow, and maybe a fishing pole, and I’m right where I belong.

Back in 1992, I walked through the very first Cloverdale Traditional Nationals Shoot in Indiana. Seeing the gear, meeting the bowyers, and talking with other archers lit a fire in me. From that day on, I had a dream to build something of my own in the traditional archery world. Over the years I’ve had plenty of ideas—some good, some not so good, and a few I later saw someone else bring to life.

Truth is, with the cost of everything going up—from fishing lures to field points—I didn’t know if starting a business in something I cared this much about was even possible. But “no risk, no reward” kept rattling around in my head. So I took a chance and made a big investment… in foam targets.

That’s how Whiskey City Traditional Archers got started.

I’ll be honest—I was nervous in the beginning. Didn’t know if anyone would show up. But in our first year, the club grew to 132 members. Since then, the shoots have kept rolling, and more importantly, I’ve made lifelong friends along the way. Being around this community—hearing what real archers want and need—pushed me to take the next step.

That step became The Hipster Quiver.
Lightweight. Compact. Built for field rounds, indoor spots, and 3D courses. No fluff—just gear that works.

Today we offer The Hipster and a growing line of traditional single-string gear and swag we believe in. And I mean that. If it’s on this site, somebody on the Whiskey City Trad Gear team has used it, tested it, and stands behind it. We don’t sell junk just to make a buck. Never have. Never will.

Here’s my promise to you:

I’ll keep doing everything I can to offer quality traditional gear at a fair price.

I’ll promote this sport the right way—honest and ethical. And I’ll give back to the traditional archery community every chance I get.

We’ve got big plans ahead. First step is getting fully off the ground.

So take a look around.
If you see something you like, place an order—and help us keep this thing growing.

I truly appreciate every one of you.
