ABOUT US

Mississippi Lake Longbow, located near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, came into existence on my retirement after 27 years in the Canadian Army.

My path to the longbow is probably similar to most people. Hunting first with a rifle, then compound bow, and finally later in life to the patience and challenge of traditional archery.

I couple a love and respect of the outdoors and nature with the challenge of pursuing game with a traditional bow. I find this extremely rewarding, therapeutic, and almost spiritual. I prefer to be a participant in the cycles of nature instead of an outside observer.

MLL is located west of the nations capital of Ottawa, deep in the cedars and maples of Lanark County. Right in the middle of some of the best whitetailed deer hunting in Ontario.

The business is run as simply as possible from our home. If you are in the area, feel free to drop by, test shoot a bow, stump shoot, talk archery, or simply spin hunting yarns.

Our Bows

Classic Longbow - As a weapon the classic longbow is a study in simplicity. Long straight limbs and a simple riser bend to a graceful D shape when braced.

Three Shilling Longbow - Similar in simplicity of form to the classic longbow except that the limbs are reflexed slightly away from the shooter.

Mark One Longbow - Carbon fiber and bamboo limb construction and a compact riser result in a very fast, flat cast, with a total weight of just over one pound.
