a little curious
High-Desert:
Those are the bows I miss seeing the most. My interest in Native America culture since I was a young kid is what got me interested in making bows, although not just NA style. The simplicity is what makes it so fascinating. The physics and science aspect is very interesting and is a great way to get a better understanding. I love math, but if I could build a bow with a formula, I probably would have lost interest long ago. Thanks for bring this topic up Halfeye.

The great thing about this form is the diversity of the bows

I do appreciate the information that comes from these in depth threads but I must admit to glossing over any math. To me any knowledge, whether it comes from history or modern means, is good knowledge and I will pay attention. If it gets too deep I can click "Mark as read" and continue on. I do miss your bows Rich, nobody makes bendy bows like you, and I definitely noticed you weren't posting anymore. So stick with us and just ignore the stuff that bores you :D

Good thread. Very nice equipment that you put together. It was finding my first stone point on the ground that gave me the desire to advance my archery towards primitive ways, making my own self bows, arrow shafts and stone points. I am on a facebook page called Hardcore Traditional. Well kind of as many of the posters use carbon arrows and they about as far from traditional as you can get. I am just a guest so I let that go. Been shooting a bow for over 60 years and I really enjoy the traditional/primitive ways of archery. Thanks again for the postings.

As an old(er) guy, my interest is in the NA and older European styles, I am not "abo" by any means, but use mostly hand tools, except in rough out. I do believe the threads on techie stuff can get overwhelming at times, but some guys get their jollies with that. Enjoy the builds and info on the more primitive bows and equipment much more! Your bows and gear are very good, and I'd like to see more like them!
