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.
(in the search of my next bow!!!)
Jack Kempf is in Canada. Dare you to find a better bow or bowyer in the world. Jack is awesome.
Matts right,any of the ones you listed are first class you won't go wrong.
What about the wait for a Jack Kempf?? and where to find contact info??
1 year wait, at least. Call Joe Skip for Jack's contact info.
Phone Jack and talk to him to get on his list.

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!!
Without a doubt worth the wait!!!
It is just a passage of time-the 'wait' part is only in your mind.
Cant go wrong with Jack Kempf.One of the finest men i have worked with.Joe Skipp is the man to talk to also.Talked to Joe on the phone only a bunch and consider him a true friend.

You could also try lynx creek archery near edmonton, heard they make a good bow!
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
David,
If you go to the ATBA(Alberta Traditional Bowhunters association) web site, there is a list of us on there.

ABE PENNER(CARIBOWS)
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.
Is Rick Lepp (Bow River) still building bows?
I am not sure if Rick Lepp is still building bows. He doesn't advertise in T.B.H.anymore,and I haven't talked with him in several years. Joe Skipp might know,he knows Rick as well. I have a t/d recurve built by Rick,a very nice bow. Rick bow business was called Bow River Archery,and he lived in the town of Cockran,Alberta.
steve t from ontario makes excellent bamboo bows.
