...  One wonders why plains Indians took the time to do it.  They probably thought it was cool too. ...
I'm sure they did!
Very nice bow!

Good looking bow. Great job on the flex and the curves, bet it really stores the energy too.

 That is a sweet looking bow. I really like that design but always wondered about wrist slap? Is it noticeable, Dave? And, by the way, glad to see you back.

One does have to be a little careful to avoid a welt on the wrist.
