Siouxbow replica

[uwe]

Look at Jim Hamms and Steve Allely`s book Vol.2 "Encyclopedia of Native American Bows, arrows and quivers" on page 152, Bow no. "B". I`ve made it little longer, about 4", 1/8" wider. When you have a look at the pics. you`ll see, that I`ve tillered it till sinewbacking up to bracehight. Think it has now about 30# starting at"0". It shall have 40- 45# when finished. When I draw it with 2 fingers and soon let the string flip, it makes a nice "Twang". It will be powerful, thats my opinion. More after backing and final tillering.
Regards Uwe
