If you want to spend under $2,000 you should consider a test drive of the Arcus M5 and T5. The playing and tonal characteristics are different, but so is each player’s ability. Trial is the only way to see if one will work for you. M5 target weight is 75 grams, T5 target weight 72 grams.
Models M, T and S of the same level number have the same price, but have different weights and characterists. With each change in level, different refinements in the bow technology and materials behave differently in the player’s hand. With so many models, levels, and sometimes the option of round or octagonal sticks, we cannot stock all items. Call us for more information, and we will discuss bow trials.

A change in pernumbuco exportation has caused bowmakers to move to alternate woods which can be crafted and perform as well. We are starting to offer Ipe wood by the same makers whose pernambuco bows we have sold for years. These bows are nickel mounted — full or half-lined — and appointed with the same details Whether you visit the shop or have an array of bows sent to you, you can compare Ipe to others across your price range.
