The Wild Captives Archery Kit
Take the Range Home
Designed and tested in Brooklyn, the Wild Captives Recurve Bow Kit brings craftsmanship and clarity to a centuries-old skill. A takedown recurve built for beginners through intermediate archers - effortless setup, real accuracy.
Built to last. Designed to stand out.
Most beginner bows look like they belong in a hunting catalog. We wanted to create something different.
The Wild Captives Archery Kit centers around our custom-designed 62" takedown recurve bow, crafted from layered hardwoods and finished with signature matte white limbs. It's a bow designed to feel just as at home in a Brooklyn apartment as it does on the range.
Whether you're picking up a bow for the first time or returning to a skill you loved years ago, this kit includes everything you need to start shooting right out of the box.
