My wife Angi and I met Curt Brisky at a horse seminar and during a break, he asked if anyone would like to shoot some bows. Angi and I accepted and were pleasantly surprised when Curt told us that he had made the two bows we were using. They were gorgeous.

Curt mentioned that he offered bow building seminars and said that we could actually make our own bows! Having never done something like this, we were very excited and scheduled ourselves for his next available opening.

Never one to go half way.....read more....

Well, Angi and I took a second bow making class and we had an even better time this go around! Now that we know a bit more, we really can start to refine out skills, with Curt's help.

Angi made an Osage stave 33 lb. long bow and I made a recurve/decurve Bamboo backed Yew bow that came out about 65 lbs. at my draw length.
