ART AND FUNCTION
Each bow is a functional piece of art, unique and as true to the original models as possible. We make our bows for collectors, target practice, reenactors, living history groups, hunters, museums, and movies.

WHY SWIFTHOUND?
SwiftHound refers to my love for Italian Greyhounds and the sometimes supersonic speed in which they travel so seemingly effortless. I rescue Italian Greyhounds, they are my constant companions.

Creating medieval crossbows is a process of never-ending research, study, and skill development.
To bring forth a creation that is both beautiful and functional is incredibly rewarding and satisfying.
