horse culture native bows

D. Tiller:
Bender, the Buffalo horn/sinew backed plains bows often pulled well over 60# often 70 to 80#'s in weight. They were not light in many respects. I have seen a couple and seen a fewe replicas and the ones that matched where higher weighted bows. The extras speed and penetration would tend to pay off on bringing in the Buff. Fewere shots and deepre penetration than the lighter wood sinew bows. That's why they were really prized posesion!

But Matt, how do you judge how much a woman is worth? Don't want to under bid or ya get in real trouble!!!
