What started as a simple Christmas gift from my son — an inexpensive compound bow — reignited a long-dormant passion that changed everything. Getting back into archery reminded me how much I loved the sport, but it also revealed a frustrating truth: too many releases on the market were built to fail. Weak straps, cheap materials, and poor design just didn’t cut it.

So, after a few disappointments, I decided to build my own. What began as a personal project quickly turned into something bigger when I shared my handmade release with the archery community — and was blown away by the response. The encouragement I received confirmed what I already believed: there’s still room in this world for craftsmanship, pride, and things made to last.

Life hasn’t always been easy, and the hard times have taught me to appreciate the chance to follow my passion. Every stitch and every strap I make is done with the goal of building an heirloom — something you only need to buy once (but hey, I won’t judge if you want it in a few colors).

At the end of the day, archery may be my passion, but my family is my everything. They’re the reason I build, create, and chase the things that matter most.
