Nicholas Dawa fell in love with the outdoors as a child through hiking and fishing, but his first compound bow shot ignited a lifelong passion for bowhunting. He cherishes the peace and clarity of tree-stand sits, escaping life's chaos in nature's silence.

Dedicated to target and 3D archery, he sharpened his technical skills through classes in self-bow building and compound mechanics, forging strong community ties.

Archery has fed his family and built traditions. With his wife Shayla, he co-founded Unbound Archery, handcrafting custom bowstrings for archers across the U.S.
