I'm looking for archers, both male and female, in modern day dress in 25-28mm.

I looked around…didn't see any from those sources that I thought might have such a critter…should be interesting if any turn up.

There are some that could easily be converted though.

Depending on how you define "modern dress" there might be a couple of convertable figs in the Supersystem range from Four-Color Figs. Do they need to be bowmen, or are crossbows okay? If yes, doing hand swaps with some pistol-armed figs might be doable as well.

Are you looking for a modern compound bow with pulleys or just a modern peron with a recurve like bow. A modern person aiming a pistol could convert easily.

Heroclix have some pretty good ones for Hawkeye and Speedy, both with a slight repaint would make fine modern day archers.

Try the Prieser Railroad figures – Multiple scales, something interesting/usable might be ther.

Victory Miniatures had one in their Suburban Knights range – alternately, you could convert a figure by adding a bow

If you were to suggest your archer would be used for zombie hunting you would get one made available posthaste.

I have a single figure at full draw that I did for some trophies for our club. Figure is modern dress, chest guard, bracer, hip quiver. Because of what it was done for it needs work to include things like stabilisers and an extended sight.

I need archers for zombie hunting, post-apocalypse, and *Firefly/Serenity-based games.

(*Inara was supposed to be an expert with a bow.)

Hasslefree miniatures has at least one in their adventurers range (a not-Buffy).

-Actually, it seems she just has a crossbow on her back and a stake in her hand.

Offensive Miniatures has one as part of a rioting mob.
