Need to make a trip to the new Bob Lee HQ in NE Texas!  Looks like it would be worth it.

There's also Arvin from Central Texas who's been known to make self bows.  I don't have his contact info, but he and his wife post in the trad section of Texasbowhunter.

Also, I know they're no longer in business and haven't been too popular in some of the trad forums, but I have a Siege Work Creations 30# red oak board selfbow that I snagged off e-bay for dirt cheap that shoots really well.

Anyway, good to hear of so many bowyers in Texas.

Mark & Sandy Horne.  Horne's Archery.  They make some great bows that are simply stunning to look at and shoot.  At the Texas State Longbow shoot there are alot of Hornes tradtional longbows that are in the top twenty archers that "buckle".  Shoot is kinda the "proving ground" for longbows and his bows always shine.

I have to give another vote for Mark and Sandy Horne.  Quality is only surpassed by the people.  Also don't know that anyone mentioned great plains in pampa TX.  The Texas long curve they make is pretty cool.

Lots of good bowers in Texas.  Dryad and Horne are good to to work with, I'm sure the above mentioned are as well.  You have a lot of good ones to pick from.

Bob Sarells Bows are some of the best I have ever shot and I own one.

He Lives in South Austin. Just a 60 - 80 minute drive up IH - 35 and you can have one of the best bowyers in the world make you a custom bow.
