Guess you don’t mean Bear Paw/Bodnik....?

Wouldn’t surprise me if a one-man operation would have changed the name to avoid confusion and legal Nastygrams...

Bear's Paw was around before Henry and Bearpaw. Last I heard Neil was still building but that's been awhile. The older I get the worser I get at rememberin. Neil has some beautiful, functional bows for sure.

I have one of his bows. Emailed him a couple of months back about building another. He responded and he is still building.

Neil is still active and builds some fine bows and was Bear's Paw LONG before Bear Paw Bodnik AHEM. If anyone needs to change names...

As long as people who are willing to pay the difference, KNOW the difference, he’s probably OK.... ;)

These bows are the best kept secret around. Been shooting his bows for years and have shot all the Other ASL and R/D bows out there. I love my Centaur and my Jacobson.
