Primal Styk Longbows

The Primal Styk Longbow Series is a traditional favorite. After being the first company to introduce the only reflex/deflex design, we proved that longbows could shoot smooth and fast. Here at Robertson Stykbow we keep striving for improvements in performance and aesthetics. With a slight deflex in the handle blended with the curvature of the reflex in the limbs, produce a longbow design with superior performance.

Some of the advantages in this design are speed, smoothness of draw, minimal hand shock and vibration, as well as perfect balance and stability.
