Buddy said in alabama. Northern mist.
Said you should be able to google him. But.
He may not be part time or
Lesser known. I have no idea.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
My phone screen does not always work right, usually a lot of misspelled words....

Northern mist has over a year wait time. Unless he has any stock bows available. Byron Fergusons son used to build them but havent heard anything for a few years. I’ll try to look up the name of the company I can’t remember right now . There’s actually a few that I’ve seen at 3D shoots but I haven’t done those in a few years either.go to an astb shoot and you’ll find them

Zbows are Byron's designs and Zach built them. The web site doesn’t exist anymore and the Bookface page is from 2013.

Lynn Harrelson used to make recurves and longbow SE of MGM. I have a kolomi longbow he made for me sitting on the rack right now.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

Those are some nice lookers. Looks like he's found a niche market for his prices, too.
