My name is Ryan Gill also known on various primitive and traditional archery sites as Twistedlimbs, named for the character selfbows I enjoy making and hunting with. I have studied history and theory in various sectors of the ancient world to re-create and improve upon the aboriginal “tools of the trade”. From flint knapping to bowyering, I have done my best to resurrect the original skills and add a modern twist to appeal to the “modern” primitive archer. I make and sell primitive archery gear and am never too busy for custom orders. I specialize in primitive bows, knapped arrowheads chipped from flint, chert, and obsidian, matched sets of river cane and bamboo arrows, fur quivers, atlatls, and just about anything else primitive.
You may also come to recognize me from my ever growing youtube primitive hunting videos, as well as many articles in Primitive Archer Magazine and videos on Wide Open Spaces. I also write a primitive hunting column in Primitive Archer Magazine. So hopefully you will become a follower of my works if you are not one already!
