INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Sylvan Archery's home page.

Please use the links on the left for information about the traditional archery equipment Sylvan Archery can supply; this list is not exhaustive -if you are interested in other types of traditional bow or arrow please send an email with details.

All bows ordered direct from Sylvan Archery are individually hand crafted with the end shooter in mind. All kinds of arrows, too!

'The Traditional Archer's Handbook (Fourth Edition) is an excellent introduction and reference for those interested in the practical side of archery.

Bowmaking workshops are held occasionally throughout the year. (see left)

Whether you are a beginner or experienced traditional archer, selecting the right equipment and arrow-to-bow match is important -if you need basic guidance, please click on 'ordering & advice' above.

The best bows are made to order - buy a bow that suits YOU!

As a traditional archer you may also be interested in the 'Society for the Promotion of Traditional Archery': www.spradarch.org. Founded by Hilary to promote interest in the worldwide shooting practices, history and craft skills of traditional archery (including bows classed as 'primitive').
