Rocky Mountain Spirit. Traditional Soul. Handcrafted Excellence​.

​

Poison Dart Bows are built one at a time in Paonia, Colorado by Buddy Gould — a bowyer, hunter, and lifelong student of the mountains. What started as a passion for traditional archery became a lifelong vocation; every bow that leaves his bench carries that devotion in the wood. 

Buddy builds for the archer who's done with distractions and ready to get back to the mountain, the animal, and the bow in their hand.


Poison Dart Bows is a small family business founded by Buddy Gould in 2012, located in the heart of Paonia, CO. Buddy was joined by his daughter Sadie in 2023, who is eager and excited to learn the trade and work by his side.

Built by hand. Proven in the field.
