The Lineage
Kadys Bows was founded in 2011 by Sergey Tolochko in Ukraine. For Sergey, bow making is a dialogue between historical tradition and modern craftsmanship.
The Kadys Pioneer 1718 reflects the powerful simplicity and efficiency that defined the bows of traditional archers across centuries. Each bow is built with careful attention to balance, performance and durability.
Rather than creating decorative objects, Sergey focuses on bows that are meant to be used — instruments that connect the archer with centuries of martial tradition.
A bow built by hand carries the intention of the craftsman in every layer of wood.
