This picture is titled "After the Shot" My wife took this right after I let an arrow fly and was slowing the horse down, It wasn't staged and came out very well.
At least she thought it did!  :)

 Many, Many thanks for those photo's Indianguy. Totally inspirational, these are my favourite type of bow and they have a real authenticity in their design and finish

what a super photo of you on horseback too..

Cheers

Eric,thanks for posting pics of your bows
very nice looking sticks  8)

i do have a request for you though
could you possibly do a build along on the osier arrows?
i live in central minnesota,we have litteraly hundreds of acres of this stuff all over the place
its what i have been using to make arrows with
but i would like to make them a little more "authentic" like
thank you

Thanks Eric. Beautiful work!  8)  I have a Plains type bow build in the future and it is great to see the "real" stuff for guidance.
  Thanks for posting your beautiful work and your wife's photo.
