"As an accomplished bower & craftsman I can prepare you for a full day of hunting or give you the means to just plunk arrows at stumps & other targets to simply improve your target shooting. I specialize in English Longbows & traditional archery equipment. I can outfit you with everything you'll need. Whatever your fancy, if it's traditional stick & string your heart desires I'm here to help." -Joseph

Our equipment is made to put you in touch with the excitement we feel when we go into the woods, creeks, lakes or swamps for whatever is in season or even just to go out stump shooting or to traditional archery shoots with friends. Even if you're not a hunter these bows & other equipment look amazing at any event whether it's S.C.A., Reenactments, Larping or any kind of traditional archery shoot while not emptying your bank account.

​We attend events, Renaissance fairs & local festivities, providing archery shoots for patrons and even do parties. Amaze your friends and family with your skills or give them the bug and see how they shoot.

We are a family business, so not only do we do the "bow thing";
We also make wild foraged salves, ointments & bug spray & sometimes teas to keep you going even after the bugs & thrones have torn you down.  - Aunt Nuneh's Apothecary

Coming soon in our own line of freeze dried snacks from our local farms to carry with you for those longer adventures.  - Callisto's Cupboard

Collaborators 

Planning a trip up here? When you call to reserve your room, don't forget to ask about doing some archery & axe throwing with us during your visit to our neck of the woods. No need to leave the serenity of the place you stay, we come to you. But archers are always welcome on our range.

National Geographic's Travel Guide

The Scenic, Wild Delaware River Geotourism Program aims to promote economic stability for communities within the region, as well as a shared identity that encourages collaboration across boundaries to benefit local communities and the natural system in which they exist.

The Arnold House 

Set on 7 acres and nestled into the forest of Shandelee Mountain, staying at The Arnold is an experience more akin to staying with old friends than a traditional hotel.

The North Branch Inn

Spend your visit with us enjoying the preserved Americana feel of North Branch and its neighboring towns.  Plan your days around tractor parades, small town bands and rolling farmland.​

The DeBruce

She sits on a ledge overlooking the Willowemoc Valley and its namesake river here in upstate New York's Catskill Park.  With its 14 guest rooms, access to hundreds of acres of private land spanning two mountains, a river, several ponds and a private pool, The DeBruce is about the place, the times and the continuing story of our home.

The Western

The Western Hotel – a notable 1852 Victorian mansion now listed on the National Historic Register is located in the picturesque Callicoon on the Delaware. Just two hours from New York City, the Western is an idyllic weekend getaway.
