ORDERING

We encourage you to contact us. Each bow is a truly custom project undertaken between the customer and the bowyer.

A direct dialogue is recommended. Please feel free to call, write or email with any questions at any time. For this reason we do not have online order forms, however feel free to submit the worksheet provided to plan and make notes on your bow. You can either send that worksheet to us or we can go through it together via phone or e-mail.

Delivery times will vary depending on the amount of work on the bench and the time of year. When you order, an accurate estimate of your delivery time will be given.

PRICING

The Classic and Three Shilling Longbows are priced at $520.00 CDN
The Mark One Longbow is priced at $600.00 CDN

OTHER SERVICES

Bow Repair
We offer full service refurbishing and refinishing of all traditional longbows and recurves. A simple refinishing job, with the old finish removed completely and a new epoxy finish applied is $100.00 CDN. Tip repairs, overlay repairs, handle or riser reshaping, draw weight and tiller adjustment, takedown hardware repair or replacement, and other repairs are on a case by case basis, please enquire if you would like work done on your bow.

Strings
Custom Flemish twist bow strings for traditional recurves and longbows are available in Dacron or Dyneema 8125. A 12, 14 or 16 strand B50 Dacron string in contrasting colours is $15.00 CDN. A 12 Strand Dyneema 8125 HALO served padded loop string is $30.00 CDN. I'll need the AMO length of the bow and the draw weight. The Dacron strings come in a variety of colours and the 8125 strings are Red and Black.

Bowyer School
Would you like to learn to make your own bow? We do build alongs for customers here in the shop. You purchase a custom bow from us and come to the shop and build it yourself. Theoretical and practical instruction is provided through out the process. The build takes about three days, not including finishing. Generally, there is no other cost above the price of the bow. Customers from away are responsible for their own travel and accommodation. Plan to come from 1 Oct to 31 Dec and enjoy some Eastern Ontario deer bowhunting while the glue cures. One customer/bow at a time, please enquire as to available build dates.

You may order your bow online by submitting a worksheet, or you may prefer to:

Craftsmanship

Each of our bows is handcrafted on a one off custom basis. We offer three different styles of longbow.

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.
