Raptor Bow
Precision with the swiftness of a hawk
The Raptor Bow is the proud elder sibling of the Sparrow — longer, stronger, and crafted for speed and precision. With its Dymondwood riser and fiberglass limbs, it offers smooth, quick draws and the keen accuracy of a hawk in flight, making it the ideal companion for knights and archers who rely on both reach and swiftness.
The Raptor Bow is the larger, refined companion to the Sparrow, designed for archers who desire both reach and speed. Crafted from laminated bamboo and fiberglass, with a Dymondwood riser that includes an arrow shelf and sight window, it offers both beauty and durability. Despite its length, the bow maintains a fast, smooth draw — its design echoing the American Flatbow, a semi-recurve style first developed in the 1930s as a rival to the English longbow. With modern laminations and sturdy materials, the Raptor Bow combines historical authenticity with reliable performance, suited for both the field of battle and the archery range.
In the high passes where hawks circle above the misted cliffs, the raptor strikes with a silent dive — swift, deadly, unerring. So too does this bow carry its lineage, drawn by those who watch with steady eyes and strike with perfect timing. Whether defending a keep’s battlements or hunting on the open plain, the Raptor Bow embodies the patience of the knight and the sudden fury of the hawk.
Best suited for knights, longbowmen, and stalwart defenders who require both distance and reliability. Ideal for LARPers portraying disciplined soldiers, seasoned hunters, or noble archers who strike swiftly yet with unwavering steadiness.
