Makers of Traditional Archery Equipment.

Our new "Patriot" Recurve and a fantastic 47 yard shot.

We understand archery equipment and the needs of the individual. We have developed bows that peak-perform at your draw length, no matter how short or long. I draw on my 47 years of experience in shooting and building bows to custom fit each individual.

Whether you're a Bow Hunter, Target & Field Shooter, woman, or child, we'll make a bow just right for you.

Building bows in the U.S.A. for over 20 years.

Our mission is to develop archery equipment for the needs of our customers.

Fall deer season us upon us...It's time to get out into the woods. The summer shoots are over now, and we're glad we had a chance to talk face to face and let you shoot one of our bows. Performance is really important to us and letting you test the bows for your self is great.

We've had our first Bow Making Workshop and it was a great success. Five students from our local club, the Livingston County Wildlife & Conservation Club, spent two days making their very own Traditional Longbows.

Here are a few snap-shots of Steve, Jay, Dick, Derek, and Bob working on
their bows...


Bob, Steve, Dick, Jim, Jay, and Derek with their new longbows. The students worked really hard and can be very proud of their accomplishment.

Jim demonstrating the preparation of materials.	Getting started.

Dick laying out string groves.	Bob sanding his bow.

The students working with machines.	More machines and more sanding...

...and more sanding.	Derek and Bob learning about string making.

Test shooting their new bows (and eating donuts).	More shooting and more donuts.
The workshop was a great success and we plan to do another sometime this winter here at our facility in Brighton, Michigan. We'll let you know when we have exact dates. For those of you in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania -- we're doing a laminated bow building class hosted by Allegheny Archers. The class will be held December 3 - 6, 2009. Space is limited so contact Allegheny Archers at 724.586.2108. Their web address is www.all-archers.com. See you there.
	Sandra and I had a great summer at the shoots visiting with everyone.
