Built Once. Shot Forever.
IMPERATOR Imperator Bow Company, Ltd. Co — custom traditional bows and custom trad bows, handmade recurves and hybrid longbows by a Texas bowyer in Conroe, Texas.
Custom Traditional Bows
Some bows are forgotten in the truck. Imperator Bows are handed down.
Every bow built here is a commission. There is no wall of stock, no catalog number, no standard build. One bow at a time — shaped from rare hardwoods, laminated by hand, finished to an instrument standard. The work belongs entirely to the person who ordered it. This is where that begins.
Custom Traditional Bows & Handmade Recurves
Uncompromising Execution.
Shaped entirely by hand from rare, stabilized hardwoods. Built to outlast the hands that draw them.

"I had a specific vision — a Cedar riser with Cedar and White Pine footed veneers. Reese understood exactly what I was after and built it without compromise. Every time I'm at the range, someone stops to ask about it. They know immediately it wasn't pulled off a shelf."
ELLIOT J. — HOUSTON, TEXAS
"I hunt with this bow. It's not a wall piece. But I've caught myself just holding it before a morning sit more times than I can count. The curl in the maple does something different in every light out here. The Ovangkol came back darker than I expected — almost the color of the timber on this land. I didn't commission it to be beautiful. It came back that way."
EARL S. — BUSBY, MONTANA
"Every decision made in this workshop is made for a bow that will outlive everyone who touches it…and it will."
