Welcome to Paragon Bows
Crafted here in the UK by Robert Pozderka, Paragon Bows are a homeage to the traditional Asiatic recurve, elegantly designed & beautifully made.
Masters of Precision
Steppe Warriors and Their Recurved Bows
From the vast Asian plains came skilled horse archers like the Huns, Magyars, Mongols, and Ottomans with their swift Tatar cavalry. They used short, heavily recurved bows, from the Ottomans’ 45-inch to the Tatars’ 55-inch designs. Today, we can enjoy shooting traditional bows for sport, not war.
Modern Craftsmanship
Inspired by Asiatic Tradition
Since the 1990s, interest in Asiatic-style bows has grown, alongside instinctive ‘barebow’ shooting. Modern versions fall into two types: fibreglass-covered limbs or lighter, efficient laminated designs like Paragon Bows.
Elegance in Tradition
Crafted in the UK by Robert Pozderka
Paragon Bows beautifully honour traditional Asiatic recurves—elegantly designed, smooth to draw, swift in action, and easy to maintain.
