plains antler bow Hidatsa
organic_archer:
Really cool recreation. Love everything about it!
boomhowzer:
The antlers must have been straightened somehow and scraped or sanded flat? Is there a good book or other resource on antler bows. This thing is beautiful and I am so curious about how to make one.
