Bill XT,s NEW SHOP

[Jeffro]

After flying back into Cairns from Weipa on Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting Bill and checking out his new store Cairns Archery Shop.
Its a roomy place with a lot of potential and good prices.Not that im too familiar with the prices of compound gear but it looks as good as any of the shops in sydney.He has only just opened today I think for the first time and he already has a good range of bows in there.
He is catering for trad gear as well and also has an indoor archery range.
Good Luck with it Bill and thankyou for the evening BBQ at your place.We all had a great time.

Good to learn it's all coming along nicely.

I even hear the original logo ideas came from some design guru... though he can't take credit for the end result I'm lead to believe ;)

How did your trip up the cape go boys?

Bill's your bloke for total no B.S. information. A man to be trusted.

[Paliadon]

So is it open for business or is that still a week or so off? Hoping it is open. Can't wait to get in there and check out all the gear.

Hi grooveyguru1, the shop itself is located behind the Fearnly Pie shop on Andersons Road.

Excellent shop, Bill is always on hand to give advice. Give him a call, or better stil get in there. It will be well worth your while.

Cheers, Cam
Cam Good for what though???;)
GG1 No Hoyts at this time though I could have one in a week. We have a very good selection never the less about 60 bows I think.
Spiderbait you are correct. It is neither cheap nor easy (unlike Cam) to open a new shop.
Thanks for all the kind words and support folks.
We officially open this Saturday.
Bill

[cooke]

What time do you start on Saturday Bill? Just got to make sure the schedule is clear. I'm bringing the ball and chain along so she can at least have a good look around. I will drop by tommorrow around 12:00 to say g'day. Flat white it is my friend. ;-)

[cooke]

[Piggy]

Well done to both you and your wife. I know it will be a sucess for all the reasons already mentioned.
Oh year Bill a champ on the BBQ.

We will be open from 8am until all the masses are served sir.
Bring ya better half for sure folks. Once she lays eyes on my wifes bow she will want one. Then she wont mind you spending money on archery equipment. (Well it worked for me anyways). Plus you will be able to spend more quality time with her at the archery shoots...
Bill

[spiderbait24]

wish i could be there mate.

good luck.

[NormGunston]

Bill, how about a live webcam showing the main shop floor... up to the minute action- Bill tweaking, Bill yelling on the phone, Bill handing over a customer's dream bow, Bill wearing a camo cap, Bill eating a doughnut...

[Piggy]

[NormGunston]

Norm you left out the smoke
Shhhhhh... he's trying to QUIT! Coffee goes without saying...

[huddo0312]

Had the pleasure of meeting Bill(XTfreak) and Bill(staff) or is it B1 & B2? on Monday this week and spending a considerable amount of time checking out the shop and all it's goodies. I even held the famed flying XT. All I can say is "Thank God you're here". Looking forward to spending more time and a few dollars, in Cairns Archery Shop...

I quit trying to quit.
Give the shop a couple weeks and maybe I will be able to relax enough to cut back on both:D

[Mozza]
