Best of British?
Hey guys,

Bit of an odd one here, but I've decided that when I buy my new setup, where possible I want to buy British. Nothing against foreign manufacturers but I believe in supporting local businesses where I can.

I know about the stylist bows, merlin risers (I already have merlin stabs) and border limbs, what other UK based manufacturers are there to chose from (if any), Petron is UK based isn't it?

Cheers,

Ben.

Cool
KG archery Kudos riser and KG limbs take a lot of beating the finish and quality is first rate and they are made in england arten staberlisers are good carbon 2000 are very well proven the merlin sight is quality compared to the arten.
i have had my setup for a while now and it is good, it stays in tune, it is very quick and it is very nice to look at, & it feels right in the hand.
It looks like keith is updating his web site at present but give them a ring and get the best of british.
