All wood and/or horn-sinew composite bowyers

[Jeremy]

I've been out of the loop for too long.  A friend of mine is wanting a "traditional" composite bow and is considering an Asian-style horn/sinew bow or a bamboo-backed bow of various profiles.

I've sent him a few links so far, but figured I'd ask they archers who haven't taken a LOA from bows, so...

What US bowyers are currently crafting quality natural composite bows?

Two are Ed Scott and Pine Hollow's Mike Clancey. Mike is a sponsor here.

Mike Yancey at Pine Hollow builds as pretty a sinew backed bow as I've seen. I can also say they preform very, very, well.

Ed Scott is the master

For an Asian style composite bow the natural choice is Lukas Novotny of Saluki Bows.  He is a master and the bows are functional art.  His glass and bamboo bows are also outstanding.  There is a dual shelf 60" 55# Ibex for sale on LWall currently and a left hand 60" 50# Ibex for sale on our listings here (could be used RH with a thumb ring).  The Ibex is a hoot!

James Parker (huntworthyproductions)builds incredible Asiatic composite bows in any style your friend would like. James is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable in all forms of archery and specifically Asiatic horn bows. He is a master knapper also among other things.
