5 curve plains bow
« on: March 26, 2012, 12:00:24 am »
Ok, I should've posted this along time ago.  This is my five curve sinew backed ash.  The bow is 48 in at 60lbs with a 24 in draw.  I slapped on a couple of diamond back skins and the string is twisted rawhide.  The arrows are red osier with trade points.  The case was beaded by my wife  :) and stitched the rest.  Hope you like.  Wildkatt, this ones for you  >:D

This bow took very little set after unstringing.  Just as well I have between 4-5 layers of sinew

very nice Bow and Quiver.
Is it a original trad. bow from the Sioux Teton Oglala Tribe?
Did they use sinew backed ash?
