Italian Bowmakers
« on: June 28, 2011, 05:31:00 PM »
Hi,
I'm Italian, have a lot of bows, American Bows by the way,  and will curious to know if in USA there are anyone who have Custom Bows crafted from one of the most knowed Italian Bowmaker.
Thanks for your replay.

Could you show us some of your bows by Italian bowyers?  Do you have any links to their websights?  Always like to look at bows!

I think the entire Ragim line of bows is made in Italy.

Several years ago (10 +/-) I bought a takedown recurve from Filippo Donadoni.  It looked nice and shot nice, but after a few days the tip overlay flew off.  I sent it back and have never looked at another bow from him again.

Rick,Filippo is just a dealer and designed some bows made both in Italy and Australia,but not really custom,just mass production.
In reality there are at least a dozen of bowyers in Italy,but Carlo,that for sure knows them,wants to know if any of you is aware of them.

I saw a bow made by an Italian maker that was out of this world. very unique in design and construction. I do not remember the name though.

If Italian bowyers are as good as Italian gunmakers, they should be fine bows.  I will have to do a search for them.

A buddy of mine is married to a girl who has a lot of family in Italy. They visit them every year and he met a bowyer named Fabroni. He had a longbow made for him and brought it back to the states. It is a good shooting bow!
