Who Makes Natural Boo Backed Bows?

David Knights website is no longer up. Mike Yancey would be the one to get a kit from in my opinion. Dryad does'nt sell the kits anymore.

Izzy,
Unfortunately that is my draw weight now. But I have a bunch 53-60# Vincent Minor, JD Jones, and Saluki's. As to matching knife, I haven't done a Bamboo Backed handle...but I'd be willing to try

Sarrels Archery is making one now too, Izzy. i just saw one in January at a shoot we went to. It was a slick looking boo backed longbow with no fiberglass. It shot pretty good too.

The Blanks that Mike Yancey is selling are made by James Parker.

Hey Izzy,

I have an Osage / bamboo backed bow from Dryad that a friend made for me several years ago. It's 62" and a great shooter. I believe you can buy them almost finished, you just complete the tips and the grip? Something to get your feet wet with, if they still sell the kits.

Good luck. Tim

James Parker in NC makes as fine a bamboo bow as I have ever seen or shot......I also have a Vinson Minor bamboo bow that is sweet.....
