Participants learn the principles and practicalities of bow design 'hands on' under the guidance of experienced bowmakers, by making a simple flatbow. using readily available whitewoods from the board
Many have their bow at a shootable stage by the end of the two-day course.
Talks and/or demonstrations of stringmaking, steaming and backing etc. are included to give workers a well-earned break.

It's an exhausting but enjoyable weekend and you have a unique bow of your own to show for it!

SPTA workshop instructors are experienced archers with various specialisations.
Whatever your traditional archery interest, we will do our best to help with information and guidance.
