DANNY GUIFFRIDA
Shop Guru
Danny Guiffrida was a Aerospace Machinist specializing in prototype work before he retired in 2013. When his son Sam started Backwoods Composites a few years after his retirement, Danny was excited to bring his many years of manufacturing experience and love of archery to the company. Archery has always been a love of Danny's since his father Phil taught him how to shoot as a young boy. Phil himself was a tournament archer winning many competitions in the state of New York. Danny continues to pass down that tradition of the love of archery and bow hunting to his sons, grandsons and granddaughter. His knowledge in manufacturing, belief in top quality products, and passion for archery is a great addition to Backwoods Composites.
