Beautiful work as always.  I have a question about those short bows and arrows.  Did the shooters use an anchor or was it sort of a floating draw?  I was under the impression that those are for shooting off horseback, primarily, but I really don't know much about Plains bows.  Bill

Indian Guy:  I like the whole setup and the way you used all of the natural materials.  The points too, they looked like killers!  Very nicely done.
