DIY Wood Takedown Bow Kit – Hickory & Bamboo

Shatterproof Archery began with bowstrings offered by Kramer Ammons and grew with the help of his brother Kazden Ammons, who now owns the company. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the business has an Etsy shop dating to 2017; its formal founding year has not been verified. The team aims to help more people enjoy archery through practical gear and education. Its published values emphasize simplicity, integrity, hospitality and perseverance. A small family business grew from bowstring orders and bow-building videos into a wider traditional archery range.

Build an all-wood takedown bow from a hickory limb blank and bamboo backing. The options let you include or omit a riser block, D97 string and Kramer's instructional book.

Compare the selected package with your build plan before ordering. Kits can differ in which blanks, hardware, strings, books and support arrangements are included. A photograph of a finished bow is a project example rather than a promise that the package contains a completed shooting bow. Read each option carefully, particularly when a variant lets you omit a riser, string or book.

Set aside the tools, workspace and finishing supplies required by the instructions. Work through the complete method before making irreversible cuts or laminations. Raw material dimensions and kit package labels do not by themselves establish the final draw weight, finished length or suitability of the completed bow. If the build process or materials are unfamiliar, seek experienced bow-building guidance before proceeding.

For a string-building kit, choose only a fiber approved for the intended bow and confirm that the supplied bundles can make the finished length required. For a bow-building kit, establish how the included or optional string relates to the completed bow. A kit's support or replacement promise is a separate service arrangement, so confirm that the supplier will honor it for a purchase through this store before relying on that promise.

Care and setup

Keep the components and instructions organized and check the selected package contents before beginning. Follow the complete build method and the instructions for tools, adhesives and finishes. Verify the condition and suitability of the completed project before use.

Product-specific checks

Supplier body says all components included but variants omit optional parts. Current copy follows selected options. Confirm wood origins, hardware/print origin and optional string sizing.

Country of origin

Product-specific country of manufacture has not been established from the reviewed supplier material. Imported US inventory codes were not treated as sufficient proof: the same import assigned US codes to Black Hunter bows that the vendor identifies as imported.
