Great work, they all look super but I like that last one's profile the most.  I did a 47" HHB not too long ago and was surprised at how well I got it shooting accurately at 20 yds.  They sure are much nicer to carry around.

Thank's again fellas, appreciate the comments from all of you.
Parnell, I think you are correct, I'm still learning but like ya said up to around 20 yards they are very deadly, and close shoot placement is very regular.

Pappy, C, Parnell.....Thank you much. Fellas these bows are just plain-jane.....they interest me because I'm trying to learn to live within any certain design and maybe get an idea what the original fellas was after.....and just maybe "why" they made 'em the way they did. In my neck of the woods, a lot of places are just flat-out thick and it's hard to believe but some places ya cant even see a deer at 15/20 yards so these bows work really well under those conditions......kinda like living within the bows limitations, eh?

Toomany....Ifrit....soon as the wife and granddaughter are back from their trip (should be home by Monday) I'll have the camera back and will shoot a few of the different one I have up to this point. I been holding off on the Potawatomii cause I've found 3 very distinct types they made and I'll save them for last, couple of 'em are gonna be buggers.

I like 'em, Rich. I don't shoot at much over 15-20 yards and I like short bows.

... except the last one and that is a Kiowa 47" and probably 55/60 @ 25.....made for some big dude down in Texas, figured he could post that one if he's so inclined.

All unbacked self bows, some are staves and some are edgegrain splits....woods are birch, elm, and osage.....
rich

Sorry it's taken so long Rich, but here are pictures of the Kiowa bow and quiver.



It is gorgeous.  Thanks.
