The High Plains Model

The High Plains Model of bow from HuntPrimitive is a mid-length osage bow, snake skin veneered, and what we believe to be the absolute best blend in speed, lifelong durability, and sweet shooting experience. This is a very “Ryan Gill” specific model. It comes in both a more “Primitive” version like Ryan hunts with, and also a very elegant and fancy, modern version. Both have your choice of ArrowHead Inlay material which signifies these are part of the Lifetime Bow Series with the best warranty and track record in the business. Make it as Modern or as Primitive as you like. It’s your custom build! You can order one right here on this page, or contact us to switch something up to build your perfect bow. The Modern High Plains model features the classic Osage Hunter shape for superior performance, veneered with Snake skins of your choice. The tips are overlaid with Black Bison horn or Deer antler, and the grip has an arrowshelf and wrapped in beautiful Black/Brown Beavertail leather. The D97/Fastflight String is also fit with beaver fur silencers to dampen the string twang of the flemish style string.  It also includes our signature HuntPrimitive Paint scheme of crimson painted tips and white edge dot work  The Primitive High Plains features the classic HuntPrimitive Gullwing shape for superior performance,  veneered with Snake skins, red painted tips, white edged dot work, a genuine Braintan wrapped grip with no arrow shelf. The string is a Sinew-colored Dacron (fast flight strings not approved for bows without tip overlays) bow string, primitive twisted, tied and wrapped along the bottom tip. (No fur silencer needed) This version makes for a very primitive, yet very beautiful and long lasting efficient bow. The Primitive version of this bow also comes with a genuine Sinew bow string so you can choose between shooting modern or a true primitive string at your leisure with the Primitive version of this model. Built to the highest standard in old world craftsmanship, Bows built by Ryan Gill come with the guarantee to be the longest lasting, best performing contextual bows available in the world.

Directly below is a photo showing the contrast that occurs as the bow ages. Osage darkens naturally as it ages. The bow on the top (Bright Yellow) is how your bow will look when it is new and arrives to you. After a few months of use, it will begin to take on the Golden Orange color of the bow shown below, which really pops the look of the white dot work. The modern Version is shown below and the Primitive Version is a little further down the page.  The Primitive High Plains show below Pictured Below is Ryan putting his Primitive High Plains model to good solid field “research and development”!     You can see that The High Plains pairs perfectly with our Bobcat Quiver and Artfully Accurate Painted arrows. Unlike the more modern models with a shelf and strike plate, the Primitive High Plains is shot off knuckle and the arrow is kept silent during the draw by using the upper part of the grip as the strike plate.  So take note upon receiving yours that the bow is tillered and designed to shoot off the braintan wrapped grip. Bow lengths are as follows: 25″ draw – 58-60″ long 26″ draw – 60-62″ long 27″ draw – 62-64″ long 28″ draw – 64-66″ long 29″ draw – 66-68″ long 30″ draw – 68-70″ long
