The Tayanigi™ Straight-Limbed Longbow is handcrafted in the traditional American Semi-Longbow design made legendary by Howard Hill. With its true straight-limb profile and narrow Hill-style grip, this bow embodies simplicity, smooth draw cycles, and dependable accuracy shot after shot. Built with precision lamination and classic craftsmanship, the Tayanigi™ offers quiet cast, minimal hand shock, and the timeless performance long favored by hunters and target archers alike.
The name Tayanigi comes from Cherokee tradition, meaning “Elm Tree”—a symbol of strength, endurance, and deep roots in the natural world.
