It might be easier to focus on a couple of woods from that area...I would want a bow with some myrtle and some yew in it...the only bow I have ever had from that area is now in the possession of that Cunningham gentleman a few posts up...you could do a lot worse than a Blacktail

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

If it were me, my first suggestion would be Blacktail bows.  Blacktail Bows is in Reedsport, Oregon, which is right on the coast about 2/3 the way down the state.  Norm Johnson builds some of the most beautiful bows made anywhere. I doubt I'll ever own a Legacy series bow, but I'd sure love to pick one up.  And, for me, his Elite VL bows are still more beautiful than most.

You definately will not regret visiting Norm Johnson.

Second, for myself anyway, would be Wes Wallace...  He's in Beavercreek, Oregon.  That's near Portland, Oregon.  I'd love to own a Wes Wallace bow, and one day may very well have Wes build one for me. ...  I am fortuante enough, however, to own an original Brackenbury Bow. (Jim Brackenbury is the reason for Wes Wallace's "Mentor" bow).  ... Lot of history there, along with lots of terrific bows.

Definitely Raptor archery in Hood River. Plan to stay at the Mcmenamins Edgefield which is about an hour west of Hood River. Youll be able to stop at the many waterfalls on the way out to see Ted, and the Edgefield is a unique experience in itself. Great food, movies, and even a little golf course. I've stayed at the Edgefield almost 2 dozen time and always had a good time. Am just headed home from there now and yes, I went out and saw Ted yesterday. Have fun

Wow, I had no idea Oregon had so many bowyers! I was just on the Bigfoot Bows website before I read this and if it was me I would definitely take Kirk up on his offer for a cup of coffee. Too many outstanding bowyers to visit just 1 though.

I would definitely mentioned Fox but they are a trip by themselves distance wise.


Check out my site , Drink my coffee but don't expect mush to see here except personal bows. I stay sold out with no stock. But no way would I miss visiting Kirk. He is my best friend of a reason. (Grin) He is extremely knowledgable and builds one of the finest bows in the world.

God bless, Steve

Really can't recommend Raptor Archery enough. Great guy and a cool shop to hang out and shoot the breeze. Scott.

Trinity Longbows near Weed, California would be worth a stop. Edward Boyd is the bowyer and the most personable guy I have ever ordered a bow from. I shoot his Falcon model longbow and would highly recommend the product and the producer.
