Great looking work. With the short draw is it possible to hold an arrow in you're mouth for a fast follow up shot?Ron

Very nice work and nice paint. Mounted archery is awesome to watch and you definitely look like you know what your doing with your horse and with your bows. I'm looking forward to see more of your work and I'm glad you found this site.

Thank you Guys.
Yes I do give cultural lectures and shooting demonstrations on occasion, mostly to Native American kids.
My regalia (clothing and adornments) are used in ceremonial and educational purposes.
The art of Native American Bows made by Native American bowyers is beginning to be lost at an alarming rate as are many other aspects of the Native culture.
As long as the Good Lord allows me to I will make bows and arrows and share with others who love the art of bowmaking.
