Several bowyers across the country are making custom longbows, recurves and strings, but most are not commercially available. These are the little gems known in smaller circles, but worth seeking out by inquiring at your local fish and game club, archery range or bow shop. One of Canada’s most renowned bowyers is Sherwood Park, Alberta’s Jack Kempf, who builds custom traditional bows from his home workshop. These days, most of his work is donated to archery organizations or programs to raise funds, so if you want one of his creations, you have to win a raffle or bid the highest at an auction.
