Fellas, that second bow was found/collected from the mount Clemens Mi. area it is not attributed but I suspect it to be Wyandott (Huron). They moved to that area when the Iriquoix tryed to extermiante them, The bow does not fit the style of either the Chippewa, Ottawa, or Neshnabek of the area so I suspect it to be Wyandott. For what it's worth because it is guess work.

Did you see that thing is only 37" long Cody.  I like that one too but that a wee bit short for me

 I'll just stretch it to 62". No biggie!

  SWEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

   My friend crooket arrow built bows just like many of those.
   His bows were 50 to 58's. He said that was really long for a IROQUOIS bow. But he said through the years the longer bow just fit him better. He also said he could shoot a little father with the loner bow.

 I never knew him to take over a 15 yard shot. And he still hunted and stalked 99% of the time

  Anyways thanks for the pic's. Brought back lots of memorys. Keep them comeing.
  BRIER SAID TO THANK YOU ALSO.
