At Acadian Woods Bows, we are dedicated to making the finest true custom traditional bows in the world. We have put over 40 years of archery experience and over 30 years of bowyer experience into each and every bow. The end result is a highly specialized custom bow with a unique blend of performance, balance, speed, craftsmanship and unsurpassed beauty to meet the needs of today’s most demanding traditional enthusiast.

We currently offer four models of custom bows. These bows include the Carbon Reflex (one-piece recurve), the one piece Tree Stick (hybrid longbow), and two sleek takedowns: the Carbon Reflex (three-piece recurve) and the three -piece Treestick. In 2024 we are adding our Sportsman trim level to each of the four models of our custom bows. Some of our customers have asked for bows that have the same performance without a high level of artwork. This way their wife, or husband, will let them take it hunting and not get upset if it gets scratched. The Sportsman trim uses woods like Bocote, Shedua, or something similar with black fiberglass limbs. Veneer overlays to the belly of the limbs and basic tip and limb bolt overlays. This still allows for a unique blend of functionality and looks while keeping the same level of construction and function that so many have come to rely on. The Sportsman trim level does come with a lower price point but don’t think it is lacking in anyway from the models with more artwork. All of our bows are made to be used, not put on a shelf and looked at. You just wont feel so bad if you scratch this one up. 

Over the years the design of each bow has been carefully refined to maximize the shooting dynamics and performance for peak efficiency. We have been able to artistically blend a combination of domestic and exotic wood overlays and inlays to achieve a very distinctive and unique look by today’s standards. We hand select, cut and grind each individual lamination. Each bow comes with a satin finish or optional super high-density gloss finish.
