Bow, Arrow, & Quiver Making

This is a comprehensive, hands-on course teaching the fine art of bow, arrow, quiver, and bowstring making.

Complete your set by carving a Northwest style cedar quiver. Frank will also demonstrate shooting techniques so you may practice with your newly crafted set. This is an in-depth, hands-on course. Come prepared for rewarding work, hearty meals, and great company.
