Who makes bows in canada? Looking for recurves, and I know of Chek-Mate, Cari-bow and Wright archery.
Let me know of other and if you have had any experiences with them!!
Thank you.

Jack Kempf is in Canada. Dare you to find a better bow or bowyer in the world. Jack is awesome.

Thank you guys. jeanpaul, I allready have a cari-bow, I rely like the silverfox I have but don't realy like the look of his recurves, I'm sure they shoot good, but not my first choice! I contacted Jack Kempf and he will send me picture of his bows and see what we can come up with!! A year is along wait... But I have other bows to use!!

It is just a passage of time-the 'wait' part is only in your mind.

I have only looked at Bob Zangs' bows but I can tell you there isn't a better man to deal with than Bob.

I will (God willing) shoot some of his bows someday.

God bless,Mudd

Checkmate... if/when they are back up and running again.  

I also have a Jack Kemp KS on order and have heard nothing but great news on their bows.
