Apex Predator Bows, LLC
My name is Marty Thompson, and I have been building bows since 1998. My first was a hickory self-bow that I still shoot occasionally. I built quite a few bamboo-backed bows before I changed to fiberglass laminated bows. I find them more durable, and I love the look of the exotic woods under clear glass.
I spent over 20 years in the United States Navy and retired in 2006. Since retiring, I have more time to devote to my bow-building passion. My wife and I have been married for 20 years and have 2 teen-aged children who keep us busy. We live in Southeast Georgia and try to spend as much time as possible on the water fishing or in a river swamp hunting.
I offer three different model longbows:
The Cumberland is my flagship model, a straight profile longbow with just a touch of string follow. Her limbs are 1-3/8" wide, and the riser is cut 1/8" from center. She is available in lengths from 62-68" nock-to-nock. This bow is a sweet shooter and deadly quiet.
The Sapelo is my mild deflex/reflex longbow and is available in lengths from 62-66" nock-to-nock. Her limbs are 1-3/8" wide, and the riser is cut 1/8" from center. This beauty is for those who don't like lots of curve in a longbow and prefer that "D" shape when strung.
The Ossabaw is my pronounced deflex/reflex longbow and is available in lengths from 60-64" nock-to-nock. This one is 1-3/8" wide, and the arrow shelf is cut to center. She is very well-mannered for a fast bow!
I use only the highest quality materials. Each bow gets four precisely ground tapered laminations, the best fiberglass, and smooth-on epoxy. I spray every bow with five coats of Fullerplast catalyzed varnish. All bows come with a custom bow sock and choice of Dacron B-50 or Dynaflight 97 string.

In addition, this is also the home of the Apex Predator Handgun Holster Harness. Check out the holster harness tab at the top of the page. It is the ultimate carry system for a hunting handgun.
