About the bowmaker

Building and shooting traditional bows started for me in 2007. From an interest in wilderness skills and Native American culture, I made my first attempts for a sinew backed bow, while travelling in Canada. I remember shooting arrows on a frozen lake in the middle of winter with friends. From that point on I was lost to bow building.
