Does anyone out there know of a good long bow maker?
Is anyone reading this a good long bow maker?

the reason I ask is...

I have some exotic hard wood from south america that I would like to get made into a bow. What type of wood is ideal for long bows?

PM me if you know a good bowmaker or you are one.

I am looking for a 60# bow at 28.5" draw

feel free to post any good bowmaking information on this thread.

Richard at Bucky's Sports in Duncan makes very, very nice bows. He'll take all the time to talk to you that you feel is needed. Very knowledgeable about being a bowyer.

Talk to Taylor Sapergia of PG. He will make you the best bow of anyone in Canada. The man is an amazing craftsman. I don't know how you would get in touch with him. I used to have a card, but that was a while back. Ted @ T&F Country Sports may be able to put you in touch 963-7538.
If you want a good bow, talk to Taylor.

Taylor is a great craftsman for sure. Just take a look at his obsidian knives or his homemade black powder rifle and you will be inpressed. I have shot quite a few 3-D's with Taylor, Lorrie Arnold, and Rick Newnham (spelling) and those boys can shoot...especially Rick and Taylor.

The only bows that i have seen of taylors have been authentic primitive style bows . If thats the style of bow you want he wood be a good choice. but i can`t see him making anything more modern.

A "self bow" as I believe they are referred to...you either like them or hate them.

[sealevel]

Is it still a selfbow if someone else makes it?

[Grantmac]

As long as it's one piece of material not including knocks, grip and decorations it's a selfbow.

P.S. On the longbow topic. The Engish are the most famous for it's use, but not first to use a long bow. They do appear however to have used among the strongest bows in history, but they are very crude when compared to the technology of other nations at or before their time.
