Thank you for supporting our American family business. The bow's string is a white 550 paracord, which is also what the hand grip is wrapped in. The bow itself is molded and shaped by hand with expert care from a synthetic compound material that is far more durable than wood. You can choose your desired draw weight to fit your personal archery needs from the drop down list. The entire length of the black bow is carefully hand painted with a unique frozen theme with ice cold blue tips and around the grip. There is also a frosted effect on the tips. The arrow rest option can be selected by you in the drop down list above. Yes! I make custom orders for bows and bow sets! So please message me and let me know what type of bow you are interested in making.
