Full description and what we offer
A&H Archery operates out of Estes Park, Colorado, and focuses entirely on traditional stick bows—recurves, longbows, and custom builds. This isn't a shop that treats bows as casual equipment. The owner, Ryan Sanpei, spent decades wrestling with bow tuning and field accuracy before deciding to help other hunters avoid the same frustration.
You can order a custom bow build tailored to your specs, or grab inventory from their stock:
All Stalker Stickbows are built with updated string lengths as of 2022—longbows at three inches less than bow length, recurves at four inches less.
Their signature approach is ACS (Accurate Centering System) tuning. This isn't guesswork. The knowledge base covers:
"If I failed, I wanted to know it was all me and not my equipment. With hunting, there's times you have just one shot—make it count." — Ryan Sanpei
They're specific about arrows because wrong arrows kill bow performance:
| Arrow Weight | Application |
|---|---|
| 8+ grains/lb draw weight | Standard shooting |
| 10-13 grains/lb draw weight | Hunting (heavier for safety) |
Key requirements: - Nocks must fit so they fall out with light tap (snug nocks cause erratic flight) - Off-the-shelf bows must use feather fletching, not vanes (vanes tear rests and deflect arrows) - Consult Stu's Arrow Spine Calculator for proper spine selection
They publish free tuning and shooting guides under TECHTUNE—Ryan's documentation of what actually works after years of missed shots, sleepless nights, and Hawaiian game harvests. Content includes:
They also offer a Stalker Stickbows catalog (digital available, physical prints pending as of late 2023/early 2024).
A&H Archery operates alongside: - Stalker Stickbows - Dryad Bows

If you're struggling with broadhead accuracy or can't figure out why your paper tuning doesn't match field performance, this is the shop that obsesses over those exact problems.
