We also have people right here in alberta who would be archery legends if they promoted themselves. One legend is local bow builder Jack Kemp who has a fantastic reputation.

It seems to be the way traditional hunters roll.
I think I have owned 8 of Jack's bows since 1986 and both my son and I currently own his hunting bows an I have one of his Tournament King freestyle recurves that he built fir my late father .
Jack's name is famous throughout North American archery circles for sure.
