The Krackow Company
pairs your custom orders with very highly skilled artists. The bowyers, arrowmakers, and accessory artisans have been selected very carefully and are recognized in archery circles for their skill and integrity. The Krackow Company does not hold its own inventory but operates on a drop-ship basis. Merchandise is sent directly from the maker, with The Krackow Company as the expediter.Most of the equipment in this catalogue is custom-made to the particular specifications of the archer. This means that the customer must plan ahead, usually by one to three months and sometimes even longer. Fine works of sculpture take time; with bows there is the added demand of action, power, and availability of materials. Sometimes a master bowyer will devote two months to a bow before the weakness of a particular stave will be revealed. He or she must start all over again. Thinking a year ahead for a special gift, birthday, or holiday ensures satisfaction and avoids disappointment.
Standard items such as the non-customized youth bows and children's sets and most books and prints can all be mailed upon order.
Mr. Gray has made every effort to know the bowyers and their products first-hand. He owns and enjoys shooting a good number of the bows in this catalogue, and has visited many of the bowyers in order to see them in their work settings and know the people and their products personally. In nearly every case, he has examined and test shot the artistís work. After custom orders are received at
The Krackow Company, some extended telephone exploration will often be necessary in order to ensure your satisfaction.The Krackow
