Here's a list of current and former coats of arms of Finnish cities and municipalities: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomen_kuntavaakunat

We can clearly see that the same golden bow is used in the coat of arms of several places in Savo (like Iisalmi, as mentioned by cors187). And as it turns out, the golden bow is the symbol of the historical province of Savo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savonia_(h ... _province)

None of this matters, though, since I found it! It's the coat of arms of the Mustonen family: http://mustos-suku.org/sukuvaakuna.html

It seems they've done quite a lot of genealogy research, so I'm sure they'll be able to tell you a lot about your ancestors.
