The Shatterproof Archery Bones reflex-deflex longbow is turning heads in the traditional archery world — and for good reason. Built entirely by hand in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the Bones hybrid longbow delivers a smooth, fast, and quiet shooting experience at a price point that seems almost impossible for an American-made custom bow. At just $499, it comes fully equipped with a bowstring, arrow rest, and string silencers, and every bow is individually tillered and tested before it ships. The reflex-deflex geometry gives archers a silky draw cycle with no stacking, while the cut-to-center arrow rest and ergonomically designed riser make tuning and consistency easier from the first arrow.

In our full review and shooting test, we ran the Bones through its paces at 40 pounds using both carbon and wood arrow setups — and it handled everything we threw at it with impressive versatility and very little hand shock. The verdict? This bow competes with custom longbows costing twice the price. Whether you’re a newer trad archer ready to step up from an entry-level bow or an experienced shooter looking for a legitimate American-made hunting longbow without the four-figure price tag, the Bones deserves a serious look. Available in draw weights from 20 to 55 pounds in both right and left hand, with a 7-week lead time for hand-built quality you can feel. Check pricing and availability here.
