Carl Johns bows are called "Pathfinder Bows"and
Tom Talbot builds the "SilverCreek Bows".

Don't forget John Maus-Can't recall the name of his bow company but he builds a fine bow.

I don't think Stillwater bows are being made any more, I believe Gene(?)got out of it a several years back?

I think its Tom Moran. Also I don't know if Craig is still making bows for a biz. You might have to twist his arm... Peace!

Tim, that's a mighty fine looking list of Bowyers there. Michigan is blessed with some of the best. I've owned bows from 4 of those gentlemen and still have 2 Northern Mists and a brand new great shooting Firefly.

Tim-
Great idea, good list and fine resource!! Wells

heydeerman · « **Reply #28 on:** March 10, 2008, 09:57:00 PM »

I have shot 7 of the bows on that list. I own a Fire Fly.

Ya know...Michigan and Ohio have been mortal enemies (at least folks who are born here think so, I'm from PA.) and Ohio has an impressive list of bowyers as well.

Jeff, Stillwater is still building bows and he
said that he will be set up in Grayling at the
MTB Jamboree this June.

Dick that is great, The first real custom bow I had was a Stillwater takedown. I was the smoothest shooting bow, then a couple years later at the MTB Jamboree I bought my second bow from him and it was the 50's style recurve. Glad to hear he is back!

Drew · « **Reply #31 on:** March 11, 2008, 01:00:00 PM »

Well Tim got another one off his list...

Archer 1 · « **Reply #32 on:** March 11, 2008, 01:41:00 PM »

I'm lucky, to have 3 Stillwater longbows, two customs, and one I got in a trade. All three are great bows, and the workmanship, is second to none. Gene is a great guy.
I always wanted to get one of the 50's style recurves he made, but I never did, yet!

I have had the pleasure of visiting a few of these bowyers in MI but I dont even own one of their bows yet. Mortal sin? Yes I know. Maybe tomorrow I pick one up

Oregon and Montana could produce impressive lists as well I think...

Dave Worden · « **Reply #34 on:** March 11, 2008, 02:53:00 PM »

Here are a couple fairly new ones.
Blue Heron Longbow Co. - Mike Pyeatt
Zero Let Off - Dan Hugelier
They're from White Lake and Fenton, MI respectively.

AnointedArcher · « **Reply #35 on:** March 11, 2008, 03:02:00 PM »

Ok Tim what did you add to your every growing list

Tim Fishell · « **Reply #36 on:** March 11, 2008, 03:53:00 PM »

Well Jeff since Drew let the cat out of the bag!! I sold my Bob Lee and picked up a 64" Griffin. It is not hear yet so I can't say to much about it yet.

Tim Fishell · « **Reply #37 on:** March 11, 2008, 03:54:00 PM »

If anybody has any website for some of the lesser known bowyers could you please PM them to me. If one is available

Brian Krebs · « **Reply #38 on:** March 11, 2008, 07:42:00 PM »

heydeerman: Michigan and Ohio ARE mortal enemies!
goody goody Bo beat Woody !

But whoever gets to the Rosebowl gets the backing of the other. Afterall Bo was from Ohio

Cliff Coe was a great bowyer; did we leave out Nels?????

AnointedArcher · « **Reply #39 on:** March 12, 2008, 08:05:00 AM »

Cool beans Tim! You know when you get all the Michigan made bows you can have a booth right next to Lonnie Collins at the Kazoo Trad show because that would be worth seeing!
