pacific yew bowyer

[Kevin Bahr]

Welchman Longbows were made by Gerald Welch.  He lives in Moose Pass, AK on Prince of Wales Island.  Don't know if he still makes bows or not, when I visited him at his home he was thinking about getting into making Sitka spruce arrows/shafting.  Don't know if he ever did or not.  I was there perhaps 10 years ago, maybe?

Actually Kevin, Gerald lives in Whale Pass AK 907 846-5333 .His address for mail is Ketchikan as thats the nearest main mail delivery. He pretty much put the shafting idea to rest as he is more than busy with pastoring the small church in town and making a few bows. He comes to the lower 48 about once a year maybe twice as he has family in Portland.
