We are the #1 primitive bow builder in alberta and all across canada!

Hey there, welcome to Stone Age Outdoors! 👋

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!

What's the history behind Primitive Bows?

The primitive wood recurve bow has a long and storied history as one of the most crucial tools used by early humans. From hunting to warfare, these bows have been used throughout the ages to provide sustenance and protection to our ancestors. Today, they are still used as a viable hunting and target shooting tool, as well as a unique and interesting addition to the modern archer’s arsenal.

Osage orange is a common type of wood used to craft these recurve bows. It is a hardwood that is naturally resistant to rot, making it ideal for bow construction. It is also known to be incredibly durable and can withstand a considerable amount of strain and tension. Its unique yellowish-green hue adds a touch of elegance to any bow, making it an attractive option for bow hunters and target shooters alike.

Ash is another type of wood commonly used to craft primitive wood recurve bows. It is a strong, light-weight wood that is both flexible and durable. Like osage orange, it is also aesthetically pleasing. It is also known for its strength and ability to withstand a large amount of strain and tension, making it a great choice for bow construction.

Primitive wood recurve bows have many advantages over their modern counterparts. They are easy to maintain, require minimal equipment, and are incredibly durable. Additionally, they are typically much lighter in weight than modern compound bows, making them easier to transport and use in the field. This makes them an ideal choice for those looking to hunt or target shoot with a bow.

For those looking to buy a primitive wood recurve bow, there are a few things to consider. Quality of construction is one of the most important factors when selecting a bow. It is important to ensure that the bow is made from quality materials and is properly strung and tensioned to ensure accuracy and safety. Additionally, it is important to consider the size and draw weight of the bow, as this will determine the distance and power of the shots fired.

Primitive wood bows are a great way to own a piece of history and experience the power of the bow firsthand. With the right combination of wood and shape, the bow can be accurate and powerful, allowing the user to hunt game, practice target shooting, or even compete in archery tournaments. Whether someone is looking for a new hobby, a way to practice their shooting skills, or just a unique item to add to their collection, primitive wood bows will provide them with all of these things.
