About Gecko Creations

Gecko Creations, the home of Gecko Bows. I am a qualified product designer who is passionate about Archery. I hand make laminated longbows for Target Archery. The bows are typically 72″ long of natural timber and fibreglass laminations. These bows suit an archer looking at shooting high volume of arrows accurately. They look good, and are fun to shoot too.

 

 

Gecko Bows

Gecko Bows originated from a desire to shoot long Longbows accurately, consistently and to have fun with archery. Finding nothing to suit what I was looking for I started investigating how to make my own Longbows, from this Gecko Bows came.

After many trials, several errors and spectacular failures, the design and formula for making a successful bow has emerged. Gecko Bows are now used by numerous Archers with some shooting National records and winning at all levels.

A typical Gecko Bow is made with natural timber riser. Limbs are made in one of the following combinations.

  • Natural timber laminated under clear fibreglass.
  • Timber veneers over a bamboo core under clear fibreglass for high performance.
  • Ebony black fibreglass over bamboo cores.

Gecko Bows are typically 72″ long, there are few other manufacturers or bowyers supplying to this length. I also supply 74 and 76″ bows, and have successfully built and shot bows up to 8 foot long (96″).
