The rabbit lost his tail cause the fox tricked him and told him to stick it thru the ice to catch fish he became stuck and the bear snatched him out by his ears leaving his bushy tail behind and streching his long ears... Cherokee story "how the rabbit lost his tail" :)

if it looks in the strong up picture like the bow has a handle, that is because I took a piece of leather and rolled it up into a tube and then glued it down underneath the leather wrap in the handle section so that it would be more comfortable in my hand but it is a true bend through the handle

it's hard to tell but the arrow used in the full draw a picture is a Cherokee style to feather Fletch arrow made from river cane gathered on the Tennessee River in Cherokee territory

Very nice Bow and Arrow. They look Silent, deadly and full of Cherokee spirit!
I like the Sinew backed Ash bow too!  :D

Nice, I think those Cherokee bows were pretty close to the English longbow.
That should go through a Spanish breast plate :laugh:
