About Correy

I grew up in a small village in Southeast Nebraska. My siblings and I were raised to hunt, fish, forage for wild foods, and navigate the wilderness. We spent a lot of time outdoors as a family, where we learned to respect and appreciate the land and all the creatures that call it home. I come from a long line of outdoorsmen, and my father put a bow and arrows in my hands as soon as I could understand their utility.

My early adult years led me away from archery to pursue other interests, and I eventually joined the United States Marine Corps. I relished my time with the 1st Marine Regiment and served two combat tours as a Recovery Operator with RCT-1 in Afghanistan. After returning to Nebraska, I became once again spellbound by the longbow.

I built bows as an ardent hobbyist for six years before Organic Archery became my full-time endeavor in 2018. I am consumed by this craft and deeply cherish the art of bowmaking and the mystical flight of the arrow.

My Mission

"Everything a bow needs, and nothing it doesn't."

I promise to craft simple, durable, and effective bows to the very best of my abilities. My work is inspired by ancient, tried and true designs from diverse regions of the world. Each bow is followed from standing tree to finished product, and no detail is overlooked.

For those of you who attend our bowmaking workshops, I owe you my undivided attention and enthusiasm as your instructor. We will welcome you into our home and return your generosity with camaraderie, home-cooked feasts, and an extraordinary experience.

With a little luck, I'll be on this path until I'm old and wise.
