Our story

John Hermanson was climbing a steep ridge in the North Cascades in the summer of 2017 when he discovered that a curved stick put a little extra spring in his step. Now, across thousands of miles and dozens of prototypes, he’s bringing his patent-pending spring-action Limber Bows to you.

John:

“I still have the stick I found that day under 5 inches of ash. It was burned into an elegant semicircle by the Wolverine Creek fire of 2015. It travels with me in my VW bus everywhere I go and works great as a frame to twist a string of USB LED lights around so I don’t have to worry about my dome light draining the battery. It also sits inside the “hot box” with every bow I build, for the final stage of the 24 hour curing process. It’s a small ritual I perform to recognize the lineage every new bow belongs to, a reminder that each new prototype is the result of lessons learned from all its predecessors, reaching all the way back to this found original.”
