My Native American roots have always kept me close to nature. I have aways felt a tight relationship with the forest and everything it has to offer. When I decided to hunt to provide food for my fast growing family, I wanted to do it as spiritually respectful as possible. Since I have been a wood worker/builder for many years, I decided to try my hand at bow making; now as an adult with the knowle
dge of wood and with nature at my disposal. After researching and studying countless hours, my first attempt was a success and I was hooked! I felt an immediate connection with my roots and what I was meant to do. I was so entranced with bow making I made nearly 30 of them in the first month alone. Using locally harvested river cane and bamboo, I made my own arrows, and arrowheads from stone and steel. I find it very rewarding to be able to use all that nature provides. Each bow is made as if it would be my own personal hunting weapon. I spend a great amount of time on them and they are all tested in the field before put up for sale.
