Bowyers of Michigan
« on: March 10, 2008, 02:46:00 PM »
I got thinking and I think my goal is going to be to get a bow from every bowyer in Michigan.  So I got thinking about how many there are in this state and wondered how many there is that I have never even heard of.  So this is my list so far and please add to it if you know of any I forgot.

Belcher
Griffen
Shrew
Javaman
Predator
Whisperstik
Northern Mist
Thunderstick
Lone Wolf
Great Northern
Fire Fly
Kohanna
River Raisin
St. Joe River
Rattlestick
Sliver Creek Longbows
A&H ACS
Stillwater Bows

Thanks,
Tim

Gonna be a long list I believe, as Michigan seems to be blessed with many talented bowyers.

Used to be a fellow named Carl Johns, but I can't recall the name of his bows. Still going?

Man that is one heck of a list!!!

Drew, I think I am going to limit it to custom bows.  

By any means this is not something that I will accomplish anytime soon!!  I am sure it will take many years!!  :scared:

That is a pretty crazy looking list when you look at it.  

Us Michigan boys are truly blessed with the amount of talented bowyers we have in our state!!
