Anyone ever hear of this company, and if so, do you own or have you ever owned one?

Yes. They were made by Jerry Bahr in CO. I had one quite a while ago. Great shooters! Wished he still made them. Pat could tell you more.

Actually, the company I'm referring too says the bows are made by Rich Haffner.

Thanks Ryan. I'll send this guy an email and find out if this the same company and if he took over. Bows look to be real fine looking longbows.

Jerry Barr sold the company to Haffner.  I have had several of the longbows that Jerry made.  They are very good shooters.  Jim

I have owned a couple of the "Coyote" Flatbows, they are flat out shooters.

    Wish I could find a lighter weight one.
