Cowiche Archery

My name is Darryl Trimble.  I'm a custom traditional and primitive bowbuilder.  I also build other primitive weapons i.e., boomerangs, spears, atlatals, etc.  I've been building and using my own archery equipment for 46 years.   I've been a fly fishing and hunting guide, and backcountry cook in the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana.  Last year I broke my back and became disabled.  No more mantying mules for me.  Anyway, to make ends meet I have taken my love of traditional and primitive archery weapons and my lifelong experience of building them and am now making my bows available to the public.

I also want to use this site to share my knowledge of the outdoors and bow building with you guy's.  So if you're interested in building a replica of a deflex/reflex bow over 5000 years old, (found at the bottom of a lake in Italy), that rivals the performance of modern fiberglass bows, you'll find it here, along with many other things of interest to those of you with like spirits.

email me @jdtward@gmail.com We'll talk over draw length, draw weight, etc.  The original was made from Ash.  The bow pictured is Osage Orange and Bamboo with accents of Bubinga, Purple Heart,Claro Walnut, and Hardrock Maple.  It draws 60 lbs.  and shoots just as hard as any fiberglass bow.  Price: $400.00

All prices quoted for bows are for in-stock bows only.  Custom order prices may vary depending on customer preferences

I am making new bows every week.  The bows featured here on this website are just a small representation of what I am doing.  Please, if there is something you would like in a bow or accessories, you can contact me by emailing me at Bowyer@cowichearchery.com or jdtward@gmail.com.

It is important for you to email me, as there are many things I need to know from you, to correctly,build you a bow that suits and fits your individual size, strength, asthetic preferences, and what you intend to use the bow for, (hunting, target shooting, historical display etc.)

Thanks, Darryl
