testimonials

“the bow’s a work of art! It shoots like a rocket…”

Ian - 40lbs @ 28

“Rob,

I'm really pleased with the new Longbow you have made for me. Thank you for taking such care and skill in its making.

It has a wonderful, unique character and feels fantastic to handle.

The process of the Commission has been very intriguing. It was a great experience overall, especially being able to choose the stave at the beginning and learn about the wood's properties.

Seeing the stages of the work as the Bow emerged from that stave was fascinating. Thank you for keeping me regularly in touch with progress via photos with the emails.

I was grateful too that I had  the opportunity to go to your Range and shoot my Bow for the first time.

It shoots very smoothly and has a great cast.

Thank you for exceeding my expectations.”

“Do you have anywhere to provide a review or a testimonial? So far, my experience with you has been fantastic, and if this bow is as good as I feel it's going to be, I'd like the opportunity to sing your praises and let people know how great the service is!”
