SELF & BACKED FLATBOWS

A range of flatbows is available in 'primitive' and modern designs -if you have a particular type in mind, please contact Sylvan Archery.

Whitewood flatbows are the most readily available for self flatbow designs.

These bows can be rawhide backed or laminated with a hickory, maple or bamboo backing,

The back can be painted with natural pigments as has been done for centuries to 'camouflage' the hunting bow

Note: Sinew backed bows need considerable care in use mainly due to our damp climate.

PRICES FROM £280
Made to order

Alternatively, if you wish to try your hand at making a 'primitive' style flatbow try a Bowmaking workshop.
