Primitive Archery

We make bows and arrows that are primarily used in the Mountain Man Rondys or the Historical Reinactments of Pre 1850.

Bows are available in 66, 68 and 72 inch which are capable of full draw for most American shooters.  we also offer shorter bows which can be used for instinctive style shooting and shorter draw lengths.  The primary wood used is Hickory which provides a good stable bow wood for an affordable price.  We also make bows of Osage Orange and Pacific Yew,  for the best bow woods wanted by experienced archers.

Bow are generally made with no cut in arrow shelf and a string made of artificial sinew for safety and a long string life.  Bows generally have a stitched Buckskin grip for less slippage and a comfortable feel.

Primitive arrows are made from Port Orford Cedar, Poplar and Bamboo.  We offer any color that Trueflight makes, plus natural Turkey and Goose.  Most folk prefer the more subdued and natural looking fletchings on their Primitime arrows for a more historic look.
