Organic Archery

Organic Archery offers private instruction and small group workshops where you craft a functional selfbow from start to finish under the guidance of a Master Bowyer. Located in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, the shop focuses on hands-on bowmaking using traditional techniques and simple hand tools.

You're not limited to one design. Work with your instructor to create:

• •English longbow
• •Whitewood flatbow
• •Osage hunting bow
• •Native American historical replicas
• •Ancient European historical replicas

With four full days (9 AM - 6 PM CST) of one-on-one guidance, you'll have time to shape and refine your bow meticulously. Extra time on day four can go toward arrow making or advanced marksmanship.

• •Bowmaking basics and design selection
• •Bow layout and roughing out
• •Heat corrections and alignment
• •Tillering a bow
• •Bowstring making
• •Long-term bow care
• •Comprehensive marksmanship
