I don't think Indians had horses until well after the white man arrived.

No mention of draw length shooting pinch finger style, so it could have been they were shooting a 70 lb bow with a very short draw at 40 to 55 lbs. with more fire power, or not. Some tribes did shoot a mod 3 under finger style that would give much better leverage. None of them shot through a chrony though ,so I am off topic. Sorry.

its all good Bassman, if its about shooting a bow,, you good,,i reallly appreciated that about the heavier bows, and learning about that,, :)

ok to continue on the 1999 bow,, by sept 19 a few weeks later the bow went up to 64@ 25,,it would shoot a 500 grain arrow 181 fps,, with a b50 string,,thats as far as my notes go,, I did hunt with that bow and actually shot an arrow that was lighter than the 500 grain,, it was quite effective on whitetail,, it was my favorite hunting bow,, when I moved to new mexico,, I was practicing with it one day and dry fired it,, It literally exploded in half,, I still have the pieces but had some wonderful memories hunting with that bow on Jim Hamms place,,Tim Baker was there on one hunt,, Im pretty sure I saw an alien space ship sitting at the campfire one night,, ok I ramble,, but the main point I wanted to make about this bow was,, even in hot humid conditions,, a sinew bow can be very effective,, and a shorter draw can shoot really hard,, thanks for all the input enjoy your shooting what ever draw you have and even if you have a rest,,,, ;D
