Nice work, and really good to see there are still some native americans making bows the tradititional way, ( are there many more of you ?), keep up the good work of teaching your skills( if you dont mind me saying)....hope your gonna stick around on the PA....

Thank you Guys.
Yes I do give cultural lectures and shooting demonstrations on occasion, mostly to Native American kids.
My regalia (clothing and adornments) are used in ceremonial and educational purposes.
The art of Native American Bows made by Native American bowyers is beginning to be lost at an alarming rate as are many other aspects of the Native culture.
As long as the Good Lord allows me to I will make bows and arrows and share with others who love the art of bowmaking.

Beautiful collection, and very well said.
I think the good Lord is gonna keep you around for a while....

Thanks for sharing

what okie said. that is a very impressive collection. i am part cherokee and have been learning to make bows over the last year and a half, its hard to ind na bowyers to teach you "especially i you dont live in the nation" so i have to learn on my own . thanks to this site and people like you i can learn a lot easier. keep posting :)

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!  :)

Bows are great, thank you for shared

Guys don't forget Eric makes his living selling his bows and arrows.  I have one of his fine bows and can assure you they shoot as good as they look!

Although we have never met in person I feel like Eric is a good friend.  He's the real deal when it comes to native archery and history.

Good job Eric, keep up the good work!
