My name is Matt and I grew up in a small town in northern Alberta called La Crete.

As a kid, my dad would take us hunting, fishing, and even bought us some traps to start trapping. So I’ve grown up loving the outdoors and get out there every chance I get. But there’s one thing that’s always fascinated me, and that’s the primitive ways of life.

I’ve always been intrigued by how the native peoples and even many pioneers used to live.

At the top of that fascination is the bow and arrow.

I built many of them as a kid and always imagined I was living in a time hundreds of years ago as I stalked through the woods thinking I was ready to kill a deer.

What I didn’t realize was that my equipment wasn’t nearly powerful enough to take down an animal such as a deer (although I did manage to take out a grouse once).

Once I reached my late teen years however, for many years I left all that behind and started working full time in the construction industry and just got caught up in the hustle of everyday life.

A few years back however, my passion for bow building was reignited and I started to pursue that again. Now that I’ve done it for a few years again and have learned tremendous amounts, I want to offer custom-built self bows to people who are also intrigued by the way of the primitives and are up for a fresh challenge.

There’s nothing quite like hunting with a selfbow… the challenge is great, but so is the reward!
