Handcrafted Traditional Wood Bows
A native American style bow modeled after the 1665 bow collected in Virginia. Drawing 55lb @ 28” of draw. An almost exact dimensional replica this longbow bends throughout its length. A fast shooting bow that may take some adjustment due to its wide handle area. The bows construction is documented in my YouTube channel. The bow is 68” long, tips are 3/4” inch wide the handle being 1 11/16” wide.
The classic American flatbow design with wider near handle limbs tapering gently to 1/2” nocks. Drawing 53lb @ 28” this narrow handle design is shelfless with a fast and snappy release. The belly had been heat treated to resist compression making the bow hold 1/2” of reflex. Featuring a handstitched buckskin handle for grip and possum fur string silencers.
A small bow for the younger archers. Pulling 20lb @ 20” of draw a light and fast bow suitable for target shooting. A simple flatbow with no shelf or tip overlays the bow bends throughout its length. Having a “peck” mark in the middle of the handle to distinguish where to grip. Brace height is 4” from the handle to the string.
