Archery – Tradition & Modernity

Archery has fascinated people for thousands of years. Originally used for hunting and warfare, it has evolved into a captivating sport that strengthens both body and mind. For many, archery is more than just a hobby — it’s a way to connect with nature, train focus and concentration, and enjoy a sense of community.

The Fascination of Archery

Archery is a discipline that demands both physical and mental skills. The precision needed to hit the target, combined with the calm focus required from the archer, makes this sport a unique challenge. It’s not just about mastering technique — it’s about being fully present in the moment and concentrating completely on the shot.
In a world that is often hectic and stressful, archery offers a chance to slow down and focus on what truly matters.

Getting Started with Archery

For beginners, starting out in archery can seem overwhelming at first. Choosing the right bow, learning proper technique, and understanding safety rules are just some of the challenges new archers face. That’s where Bearpaw Products comes in — a brand dedicated to providing high-quality equipment and expert support for both beginners and experienced archers alike.

Penthalon – The Perfect Choice for Beginners

Penthalon, a brand by Bearpaw Products, offers an excellent selection of bows and accessories — ideal if you’re looking to buy your first bow.

The Hero Series offers you:

• Easy handling
• Stable draw weight

Perfect for starting archery safely and with fun.

Another big advantage of Penthalon bows is their outstanding price-performance ratio. Archery can be an expensive hobby, especially when you’re buying your first basic equipment.

This way, you can quickly and easily get familiar with the sport.

The Next Step: Advanced Archers & Professionals

For archers who have moved beyond the beginner stage, Bearpaw Products offers a wide range of bows and accessories designed specifically for the needs of advanced archers and professionals.
One of the best-known names in the archery world is Bodnik Bows — a brand renowned worldwide for its handcrafted bows.

Bodnik Bows – Craftsmanship & Performance

Bodnik Bows stand for outstanding performance, precision, and true craftsmanship. These bows are known for their exceptional shooting smoothness, flat arrow trajectory, and pleasantly soft draw.

Every Bodnik Bow is crafted entirely by hand — ensuring that every detail is perfect. These bows are ideal for archers who demand the very best from their equipment and are ready to invest in quality that will serve them well for many years to come.

A special highlight: every Bodnik Bow comes with a 30-year warranty — proof of the trust we place in the quality and durability of these bows. Especially for archers who use their bow regularly or under challenging conditions, this warranty is an invaluable benefit.

Custom Bows – Your Unique Masterpiece

What Makes a Custom Bow So Special?

Every custom bow is built according to the exact specifications of the archer — no two custom bows are ever the same. Materials, design, length, and draw weight can all be customized to create a bow that perfectly matches your needs and preferences.

Creating a custom bow requires a high level of skill and true craftsmanship. The bowyers at Bodnik Bows are true masters of their craft and know exactly how to turn your ideas into a bow that meets the highest standards, both aesthetically and functionally.

The Path to Your Made-to-Measure Bow

The journey to your own custom bow begins with a personal consultation. Our experts at Bearpaw Products take the time to understand exactly what you want and need. Together, you’ll clarify your preferred bow type, materials, design, and all technical details.

Once everything is defined, the real craftsmanship begins: our bowyers carefully select the finest materials and craft your bow step by step with the utmost precision. You stay informed throughout the entire process and can make adjustments if needed.

The result is a bow that not only looks stunning but is perfectly tailored to you. A custom bow is a true one-of-a-kind piece that will bring you joy for many years to come.

Custom Bows by Bodnik Bows – Uniqueness & Craftsmanship

For archers who want something truly special, Bearpaw Products also offers custom-made bows by Bodnik Bows. These bows are crafted entirely according to the personal wishes of the archer and are true masterpieces of craftsmanship.

The Bearpaw Limb System (BLS) – Flexibility, Individuality & Bow Configurator

Another outstanding feature from Bearpaw Products is the Bearpaw Limb System (BLS). With this system, archers can build their bow exactly the way they want it and perfectly adapt it to their individual needs.

The BLS offers more than 52 handcrafted risers and a wide selection of limbs in various colors, sizes, and designs. This flexibility is especially valuable for anyone who wants to adjust their equipment over time — whether to try new techniques or to fine-tune their performance.

A special highlight: with our Bow Configurator, you can design your custom bow online and see it live. You can instantly view how different risers and limbs look in various color and size combinations — so you’re sure to find the perfect match.

The Bearpaw Limb System is designed to grow with you. Your bow can be upgraded or modified at any time without the need to buy an entirely new bow. This adaptability is ideal for archers who want to continuously develop their skills and their equipment.

Archery for Kids & Teens

Children and teenagers often have special requirements when it comes to their equipment. A bow for young archers needs to be not only functional, but also visually appealing and easy to handle. The Hero Series from Penthalon delivers exactly that: bows specially designed for kids and teens — available in various sizes and draw weights.

Why Special Bows for Kids & Teens?

The requirements for bows for children and teenagers are clearly different from those for adults.
Young archers generally have less strength and a shorter draw length — which means kids’ bows need to be lighter and easier to draw. Design also plays a big role: a bow that looks great motivates kids and makes archery even more fun.

The Hero Series takes all these factors into account. It’s designed to grow with the child’s skills — perfect for increasing draw weights and more advanced techniques later on.

Complete Beginner Sets for Kids & Teens

To make it easy to start archery, Bearpaw Products offers special beginner sets for kids and teenagers. These sets include everything young archers need to get started safely and with confidence:

✔ 1x Bow
✔ 6x Arrows
✔ Protectice gear
✔ A guide covering all the basics

These complete sets are not only practical but also a wonderful way for parents to introduce their children to a meaningful and healthy hobby. Archery doesn’t just promote physical fitness — it also builds concentration, discipline, and patience — skills that are valuable in many areas of life.

Archery Accessories – Everything You Need

In addition to bows, Bearpaw Products also offers the perfect accessories to make your archery experience safe, comfortable, and hassle-free. From protective gear like armguards and shooting gloves to arrows, quivers, and transport solutions — you’ll find everything you need, all in one place.

Protective Gear – Safety First

Good protective gear prevents injuries and makes your shooting experience more comfortable.
Armguards protect your forearm from the bowstring. Archery gloves or finger tabs protect your fingers from friction and blisters — especially during longer practice sessions.

The Right Arrows – Perfectly Matched

Choosing the right arrows is crucial for your success in archery. Whether you prefer wooden arrows for traditional shooting or carbon arrows for a modern setup — we help you find the perfect fit.

Use our Arrow Finder: just answer a few quick questions to find the arrows that perfectly match your bow, style, and skill level.

Or get creative with our Arrow Configurator: design your custom arrows exactly the way you want them — live, in top quality, and fully tailored to your preferences. See your arrow’s look in different designs in real time and order it just the way you like.

Transport & Storage

To keep your equipment safe, we offer durable transport bags and cases designed especially for bows and accessories. Whether it’s a single bow or your complete setup — our bags protect your gear reliably and make transporting your bow safe and easy.

Archery as a Sport & Leisure Activity

Archery is not just a sport — it’s also a leisure activity that inspires people of all ages. Whether practiced alone or in a group, many archers appreciate archery as a way to balance out the stress of everyday life.

Mental & Physical Benefits of Archery

Archery strengthens both physical fitness and mental focus. The sport requires good posture, strength, and endurance — especially in the arms, shoulders, and back. At the same time, it trains concentration, patience, and the ability to stay focused even in stressful situations.

Many archers say that archery helps them clear their minds and reduce stress. The calm and focus required while shooting can be soothing — even meditative. Especially in hectic times, archery offers a valuable opportunity for relaxation and balance.

Archery as a Social Experience

Archery is also a social experience. Many people join archery clubs to train together, share knowledge, and take part in competitions. Tournaments and events not only help you improve your skills but are also a great way to make new friends and connections. For many archers, the social aspect is just as important as the sport itself.
