Colorado Bowyers

britt · February 02, 2015, 08:19:00 AM

I am getting the two year itch to buy a new bow. I was thinking about buying local here in Colorado. I'v heard of most bowyers in Colorado. Who would you recommend as a bowyer in Colorado? Thank you.

Sorry to say Vince from MOHAWK Bows isn't building any more. He's from Conifer.

Mike Hays of Black Canyon Bows is in Pueblo.

This is sad news.. Vince built a great bow.
I didn't realize that he was totally done building, but I guesss so. :(

Chastain would be my preference.

The Poison Dart bows look like a great value. Definitely worth checking out.

Black Canyon Bows by Mike Hays. Great bows but long wait

Vintage Works is in Colorado - only down-side is a loooong wait list, probably on the order of 2 years I'm guessing. But it doesn't cost you anything to get on the wait list. I own two, currently on the list for a third.

Here's a couple of pics of my 1962, all phenolic riser:

This is basically the same bow, just with macassar ebony riser w/ shedua I-beam:

Britt, I'm thinking you need to make your own!
You're local!
Sending you a PM

britt · February 02, 2015, 11:10:00 AM

Anybody have contact info. on Poison Dart bows?

SCATTERSHOT · February 02, 2015, 11:44:00 AM

Check out Dick Boss in Elizabeth.

Britt, Tom is selling his bows for him. Buddy Gould is his name. Nice longbows.

old_goat2 · February 02, 2015, 12:26:00 PM

And another name not mentioned is Palmer from Aguilar CO

Bivyhunter · February 02, 2015, 12:27:00 PM

I'm not there yet, but I'm planning on a move in the near future. Can't wait to see CA in my rear view mirror!

Bernie B. · February 02, 2015, 02:15:00 PM

Bryan Holley builds Spirit longbows and sells them through RMSG (sponsor). I would highly recommend his bows.

Keith Chastain/Wapiti would be my choice as well. I got my bow 13 years ago and is still my favorite. I remember a very short wait time.

That is a real shame as he built a very fine longbow.....

Maybe I'll finally see one of your bows in person finally!
