![]() ![]() ![]() The longbow has been around for centuries in several different styles and configurations. One may think that every Longbow he builds is the same. According to McIntosh, he has built a variety of longbows. “Each of my 3 models are named accordingly The Keweenaw, The Ottawa, and the Norwich model longbows. They are all named to reflect upon the deep rooted history of our region.Īs he develops other models, the names will continue to represent the Upper Peninsula. When he started making the longbows, he wanted was a name that represents the Upper Peninsula and its history. Building bows, and seeing the enjoyment and the smiles on faces of customers is very rewarding.” I have been around the traditional archery community for many years, and it truly is a passion and a lifestyle. As a result, Copper Country Bow Works was born,” McIntosh states. Being retired now, I was finally able to put my shop together and get started. “I started building longbows 3 years ago, something I have wanted to do for many years. Even less actually go into the business of selling the longbows they design and build. While many hunters enjoy hunting with a bow, few have the ambition to actually build their own. Looking a bear in the eye at 9 yards, at ground level is about as exciting a time a guy can have in the woods.” I no longer hunt from tree stands, I like a good ground game. The avid archer can certainly hit targets at further distances. He loves the challenge of shots under 15 yards. Bow hunting was never meant to be a long range affair, it’s about how close you can get. Being a better hunter doesn’t just mean having good aim. ![]()
