A ute historical bow
« on: March 13, 2015, 10:47:52 am »
Hey fellas, while cleaning out my pictures I ran across this plains/western bow and a very interesting catalog card with it. Might help some of you guys that like the western bows. So I'm posting before it goes by-by.
enjoy

Taking the time to post all that you have in your collection is appreciated, rich. A nice resource for the future.

Nathan C.  Meeker, he managed to make a name for himself by getting that arrow.
A history account worth googling, if you want to read about one of the last fights with the Native Americans in the old west.
