The Raptor is Simon's Bow Company's new entry into the higher-end Asiatic bow market. About the bowyer:
"Simon van der Heijden spends most of his time in his workshop doing what he
loves: making bows! Simon has been making bows for over ten years. He started
with simple wooden self bows and soon after that laminated longbows. Studying a
variety of bows he became interested in traditional bows from the Middle-East
and Asia which led him discover new bow making techniques involving modern
materials. Simon's passion comes from being part of the whole process. Laying
out the "raw materials" put them together, shape them and as a result make a
piece of art you can use."
