A name change

No the name Coyote Creek Archery is not changing but the names of our bows are!  After some research I have noticed that there are several bowyers who name their bows after predators and there are several Bobcat and Coyote bows available from various bow makers.  I like to think that Coyote Creek Archery is not like any of the other bow makers.  You won't find a custom bow of this quality, for the price anywhere.  After a lot of thought I wanted to do something different.  After spending all of my life in the state of Kansas I wanted names that were more connected to my home, something that had more meaning to me personally.  I decided to name my 3 bow styles after the 3 main waterways in Northwest Kansas.  The three that I have spent countless hours hunting, fishing, trapping, and exploring.  

The Bobcat recurve will now be known as the Solomon for the North and South Fork Solomon Rivers.  It is the river closest to the inspiration for this bow and coming in two lengths it is fitting that it be named after the river with two forks.  

The Swift Fox longbow will now be known as the Saline.  Named after the Saline River where I took my first deer with a longbow and my first deer with a Coyote Creek longbow. I have also pursued and harvested many deer, turkey, phesants, quail, and other critters along the Saline in my outdoor pursuits.  The Coyote Creek flows into the Saline River and it is a very appropriate name for this bow.

The Coyote takedown has been discontinued and is being replaced by a new one piece recurve coming in the Spring of 2018.  This new bow will be named the Smoky.  The Smoky Hill river is where I shot my very first deer.  It flows just a few miles south of Coyote Creek Archery, and I have had countless adventures along the Smoky.  It is fitting that with this new bow being born near the Smoky that it be named after that river.

I hope that you like the changes.  I know that I do and it will be a great feeling knowing that each bow that is made at Coyote Creek Archery will always represent my home in Northwest Kansas.
