Doc,
     Found this pic squirreled away.....it's Miami, and came from the National Museum of the American Indian. I'll try to find the bow again and see what they have for dimensions. The second photo is from the same place and I believe attributed to the Sauk/Fox cultures so would have been associated with the Miami.
    Hope it helps ya some.

Gun Doc,
      Here are dimensions that they list for the Miami bow:  (in centimeters)   114.50 X 3.50 X 1.90. The bow was collected in Ohio, USA in the late 1800's and the item Catalog number is # 24/1099. Sorry but that's all they had listed with the photograph.

Thank you very much.  That is exactly what I needed. This is my first time on the forum and already it has proved to be invaluable. Thanks again Rich.
