Navajo Longbows

Navajo Longbows Navajo Longbows is a custom maker of finely crafted longbows and recurves. Bowyer Roy Hall has been in business crafting traditional bows for 20 years.

Navajo Longbows was started in 1995 from a prayer and a dream by Roy Hall. I have always been fond of archery since my youth, but was not real serious about it until I got out of college in 1975. I put together and finished a compound kit that I bought from Gibson’s Discount Center. That started my real enthusiasm for archery. I have always been a hands-on person as God has blessed me with the abi

lity to be creative with my hands. I worked in a family fiberglass business most of my life. I learned woodworking, mold-making, and fiberglass work. These skills allowed me to understand how to manufacture traditional bows on a custom-made level. Through prayer and setting out to draw out the design of the bows I wanted, I started building molds and went to work. Over the years, my designs have evolved into what they are today. God has blessed me with the talent and desire to do what I do, and still enjoy it. I strive to build the best bow possible for each customer. My aim is to please, and to build something that people can enjoy and get pleasure out of for years to come. If you are interested in a truly custom-built bow, please give me a call or e-mail me through the contact page. I will be glad to answer your questions and get you started in a bow that will fit your needs and give you enjoyment for many years.

MOVING!! Navajo Longbows is in the process of moving to a new location. I have temporarily closed to move my location from town to my farm where I live. I've been looking forward to having my business near my home for a while now and it's finally happening! The pad has been built, slab should be poured next week, and building should be going up soon afterwards. I'm planning to be back building bows in March or April. If anyone is interested in bows, I'll be glad to talk to you about it. I look forward to getting back to work doing what I do---building bows!!!!

These are some vintage salesman sample hatchets that I am restoring and custom building the handles out of curly maple. I have 40 of them to do for the Combat Warriors Organization to be given away to soldiers who were wounded in Combat. They will be given away on November 7th. Each one will have their logo on the heads and custom sheaths. I have 21 heads ready, with 19 to go.
