I am Geoff Barker, Age 61, married to Jean, two grown up daughters, & dog (Jess).

I have spent 35 years as a Design Engineer in Process Industry (boring stuff after the first 10 years)

Started in archery in 1988,  recurve for 5 years then decided to make a longbow and have not looked back since. 

I have always been a compulsive maker of things, Tables, Welsh dressers, Guitars ,Model- boats & Bookcases, so getting into making Archery Equipment was easy.

Started to make bows in 1990 for friends & acquaintances, having reasonable success in archery lead me to consider taking it up as a fulltime occupation.

Decided to venture into part time making of bows in 2003.
One of my satisfied customers is Ken Bearman. A coach to the England Field Squad.

Achievements with my own longbows & arrows.
