Parts of a Bow
Parts of a Bow
The diagram shows some of the many parts that have to be fabricated and joined together to create an archer's bow. In the photos shown below you can see some of these parts—especially the grips—that Kevin Brown crafts in his bow shop, from both native and exotic woods, to create beautiful custom bows. Many other parts (tips, arrows, strings) are not shown here, but Brown creates all for discerning archers, both target shooters and bow hunters.
Reviews and Testimonials
"5 stars!"
"Kevin built me an excellent bow! Professional and, well, can’t say enough about his workmanship. Excellent."
"They are absolutely beautiful. I am just getting into this sport and have heard nothing but the best about Herwaybows."
"Just crono tested my tyler memorial bow. 198fps @8.8gpp 28in draw.
46# 405 gr total weight. Smokin!"
Note: A chronograph test is a way to measure the speed of an arrow as it leaves the bow—usually in feet per second (FPS) or meters per second (MPS). It’s a precision tool that helps archers understand how efficiently their setup is performing, and it’s especially useful for tuning, sight calibration, and comparing gear.
"I shot one two weeks ago and it’s a sleeper. Very smooth very fast. I was throughly impressed. I didn’t chronograph it but it was clearly faster than my Black Widow. For the money it’s an awesome custom bow for the money!"
"It shoots like a dream. Kevin makes an outstanding bow, and stands behind his products. Love mine so much I ordered another one just like my first one."
