SCA-Medieval Accessories

We offer replacement strings for all traditional or primitive bows allowed in modern medieval archery.  Strings can be made in the endless loop, Flemish twist and artificial sinew primitve style.

We make armguards in Adult medium and large sizes for both right and left arm. Left arm for right handed archer.

We have a variety of leather and canvas quivers.  Please see the included photos and reply on our contact page with any items you need that you don’t see and we will try to find or make that for you.

Traditional Accessories

We make both endless loop and Flemish twist for traditional Recurves and Longbows.  We use only B-50 Dacron in all available colors, and Brownell braided nylon serving thread also in all colors they offer.  Since we deal in mostly older bows and the new fast flight materials are so varied and  expensive, we choose not to compete in that option.

We also offer handmade armguards in Adult Medium and Large size, both left and right arm.

We have a variety of leather and canvas quivers.

Some photos are included, but please inquire on our contact page with any questions or needs that you have.

Primitive Accesories

We offer replacment artificial sinew strings.  They have an upper loop we call a ‘flemish braid’ and are long enough for bows up to 74″.  There is no lower loop as they are attched to the lower string nock with a Bowyer’s knot or Timber Hitch.

We have several styles of primitive quiver in leather or canvas.  Photos are shown of some models, but please contact us for details of what you are looking for.

We offer hand made armguards in Medium or Large adult size, both right and left arm.  A photo of the adult large left arm is shown (right handed archer) Please use or contact order form.

Our standard arrows are made with 125 grain field points, but we have other sizes of field point and a variety of trade points and hunting points of primitive style.

Traditional Bows

We carry a variety of used Traditional bows of older but noteable brands.  There is such a wide number and variety of new manufacturers that we choose not to compete in that market.  A few photos are shown, but models and draw weights revolve, so please let us know what you are looking for on our contact page and we will see what we can find for you.

We can make some traditonal style bows from our hickory staves with arrows shelves.  We offer a bamboo backed reflex/deflex bow that performs well with a ‘rustic’ look.  These bows will not have the cast of a modern glass backed recurve, but give you a good bow at a reasonable price.

SCA – Medieval Bows

Our medieval bows a made to the Olde English D style longbow.  We use Hickory staves as a base for most of the bows to give an authentic look with a reasonable price.  We also make bows of Pacific Yew and Osage Orange for bow of exceptional quality and performance.  Our standard bow is a Hickory self bow that is 72″ long.  A very popular model is the ‘Faux Yew’ that is made from a dark Hickory or Red Oak belly with a light Hickory backing for the look of true Yew at a reasonable price.  we also have Bamboo backed longbows and ‘Tri-Lams’ of several styles.  Example photos are included. Please respond on or contact page for more information and photos.

Traditional Arrows

Although we can fletch arrows of any shaft or vane material, we specialize in wood shaft and feather fletch.  Shafts are primarily of Port Orford Cedar, Poplar or Bamboo.  Fletching is made from True Flite full length feathers to give you the best made and deepest colors of any brand of fletch.  Fletching can also made of Goose or natural barred Turkey.  All fletching is burned to shape to give you consistant shape and the best bond to the shaft.  That also allows us to make any shape or length that you want.  The standard fletch is a 4 1/2″ Shield shape – but you can choose from any that you like: e.g. – Parabolic, Banana, Pope & Young or Raptor etc.  Arrows are cut to your draw length and come installed with 125 gr. field points.  We have many other points including broadheads as extra options.

Youth/Scout Archery

I have been making arrows and bowstrings for Youth and Scouts for many years.  Arrows are generally 25″ to 28″ for bows up to 30#.  I generally make endless loop strings for youth bows also for bows up to 35#  You can see bows in youth sizes under the other categories.  This section will be used for target and flu-flu arrows for youth.  I also make presentation arrows such as Arrow of Light and Order of the Arrow.  I carry some accessories, but you will generally find these for less cost at the big online stores.

SCA Medieval Arrows

Our SCA/medieval arrows are made to replicate the Olde English design.  We can make arrows from complete native shafting with fletching of natural Turkey or Goose wrapped with true Linen.  Most of the arrows are done with Trueflight  colors that are glued on to improve durability.  The arrows are wrapped with artificial sinew for the native look and to protect the fletch and self nock.  Arrows can be full length wrapped with Linen/poly thread for the classic ‘Mary Rose’ look. Shafts are made from Port Orford Cedar, Poplar or Bamboo for Eastern Europe or Asian personna.   Arrows come standard with field points, but we have a number of metal medieval point styles.

Primitive Arrows

Our primitive arrows are made to replicate the style of Native American design.  We can make arrows from complete native shafting with fletching of natural Turkey or Goose wrapped with true sinew.  Most of the arrows are done with Trueflight natural colors that are glued on to improve durability.  The arrows are wrapped with artificial sinew for the native look and to protect the fletch and self nock.  Shafts are made from Port Orford Cedar, Poplar or Bamboo.  Arrows come standard with fileldpoints, but we have a number of metal trade point styles and can even haft a stone point knapped by local experts in Montana.

SCA – Medieval Archery

We try to replicate the style of medieval bows and arrows for use in SCA events or medieval/fantasy reinactments.  Most of the bows are the classic ‘D’ shaped longbow.  The arrows are the classic English shape.  With a full wrap option they look like the came off the Mary Rose.  We also offer several styles of Fantasy bows and arrows – similar to those seen at the movies or on some video games.  Entry level bows generally are Hickory or backed Hickory.  We do make bows from Pacific Yew.  Arrows are made from Port Orford Cedar or Poplar.  We can make medieval style arrows from Bamboo, especially for personna from Eastern Europe or Asia.
