It all began with passion.
Mike Steliga began building recurves in 1984 because of his unwavering passion for traditional archery and all that it offered. He built his first bow, simply named “MS”, and that was all it took - he fell in love, hook, line, and sinker.
The name “Bruin” came from a friend having a discussion with Mike about his love for bear hunting. After suggesting the name, it just seemed to click, and Bruin Custom Recurves was born.
“I genuinely want my customers to have a good experience. I want to help. At Bruin Custom Recurves, we aren’t going to try and sell you something. Anyone can go to a store and buy a bow off a shelf. We want to provide you with support so you’ll love your experience and your purchase.” - Mike
