The Backyard Bowyer

Instructor

Region : USA (Washington)

Hi, my name is Nick! I’m an avid archer and bowyer and absolutely love archery in all its forms. One of my dreams is to teach everyone the value of archery and the lessons that can be learned. It’s a lofty goal, but I try my best in my own little way to make archery more accessible to people who may not have the resources or opportunities otherwise.

While I don’t sell any bows, I spend a lot of time teaching others to make their own archery equipment. I have a few books out on building bows as well as some videos on Youtube all about making your own bows and other archery tackle. This site is also put together by me to help connect the budding community of PVC bowyers to each other and to the world.

I try a little bit of everything but my favorite bows are short, lighter weight recurves. There is just something about them that makes them fun to shoot and their small size usually means less handshock even at higher weights. For me there is nothing quite like a short bow with a smooth draw and good speed.
