Ballistic Bowstrings from Bradford Ontario

For years now I have been purchasing Ballistic Bowstrings from Tent City in Toronto, which apparently are made in Bradford, Ontario. I am currently looking for archery tourist locations to visit near Bradford.

I figure it is only a short distance from Toronto and should be worth the trip.

Plus when I buy bowstrings I usually buy 3 to 5 of them at once, so maybe I should stock up while I am there.


Arrowhead Souvenirs

One of the things I like to do is look for unusual arrowheads while on vacation. Like the amethyst arrowheads shown below:


Sometimes the arrowheads will be in the form of a necklace, other times they will be normal stone arrowheads made of a variety of materials.

eg. Near Hilton Falls (Milton, Ontario) there is a park called Crawford Lake Conservation Area, which has a museum / archaeological dig site for aboriginal Canadians. The site also boasts a gift shop which sells flint and/or obsidian arrowheads. When I was last there I purchased 20 flint arrowheads and 1 obsidian arrowhead. (I even went through them carefully and picked out flint arrowheads that were the same size and shape, and presumably, weight. I then took them home and carefully weighed them all to pick out a few for attaching to wooden arrows.)

I especially like finding unusual types of arrowheads. So amethyst arrowheads like the ones shown above make great souvenirs in my opinion.
