Rich, also known as half eye around here is a good source of info as well. I'm sure he'll chime in at some point.

If you are gonna do repros you should get Steve Allely and Jim Hamm's books on NA bows arrows and quivers. Lots of nice examples. Most Sioux bows are between 40 and 45 inches in length with a narrowed handle and tips. Usually double nocks on bottom and single on top.
