Kalamazoo Bow Works is a USA-based archery business run by David Darling, known as the Kilted Bowyer. An Air Force veteran, retired paramedic, father, husband, and bowhunting enthusiast, Darling specializes in building custom longbows and recurve bows. The brand also offers stock bows that are ready to use, giving customers an option to shop for a bow without commissioning a custom build.

Its bow styles include the Heritage Takedown Recurve, Manitou Longbow, Manistee Longbow, Arcadia Longbow, and Boardman Recurve. Kalamazoo Bow Works presents its products for archers interested in traditional bow styles and shares updates about its work through its website and Instagram.

The business also promotes the Traditional ARCHers Expo, scheduled for January 29–31, 2027, at the Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds. Expo information includes details about vendors, speakers, hotels, and the event’s trophy room. With its focus on traditional bows and a personal, bowyer-led identity, Kalamazoo Bow Works connects its craft, products, and archery community activities.
