I just got my wife a recurve bow for her birthday. She got a Sky Breeze which is actually a youth model but she is a tiny thing so it’ll work for her to start out with. Looks like it’ll be a lot of fun, I may have to get my own soon!

Nice article, but the recurve bow and arrows you show, although very fine, are clearly manufactured using industrial processes and modern materials. Things get more challenging when dealing with the inconsistencies of wood, cane, feathers, glue and sinew.

I’m fortunate enough to live right around the corner from Three Rivers Archery. Fantastic people, they’re always willing to help.

I also recommend Primitive Archery magazine. Excellent resource.

I have been into archery for years. I find it a great sport and helps me focus.

@Timothy, Im a comic bookfan, I have been reading hawkeye latesly. its great but I also love Green Arrow.

For anyone interested in Archery and want to see some impressive things I would recommend checking out HOWARD HILL. He is a fantastic archery who worked on several films included Robin Hood (starring Errol Flynn) and They died with their boots on (also starring Errol Flynn) he has made several appearences in Green Arrow Comic Series. and he was so popular that when he was shooting at a Worlds Fair he was mobbed adn robbed of his bow, arrows, quicer and shirt right off his back.

Archery is a fantastic sport and I recommend it for everyone.

Nice article. Howard Hill was the real long bow shooter, I’ve been shooting a longbow for over 20 years and make my own arrows. Ron LaClair made me my first dozen way back at the beginning.

I have been shooting trad archery for a couple years now.. This was my first hunting season. I went for elk in Colorado. Truly an old school past time. Love to see this popping up in a spot like this. The links are great. Thanks.

Kyle, What could I say about Fred Bear in this article that would have done him justice? Instead, I just used my Bear recurve for photos. “I Remember Papa Bear” is a great book if you want to learn more about the man and the way he did things.

No mention of Fred Bear?? All the less, a great article. Perhaps an article on traditional bow making sometime?
