RE: A lighter subject...
Hey guys...The only flint & sinew pic I have is up north at the cabin...Here is my uncle with our trad set ups we used heavily in the late 90's...and some kills....look closely at the character of the bows(Osage cured in a stream and set...and the heads....flint....sinew from deer tendons off of actual bow kills from the years before....and the turkey fletch barred...cut knocks wrapped in sinew around the base for streath....
this has a steel head.....
This 3 point was killed with Obsidian which is a naturally occurring glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock
.
Here is my knotted knurly Osage bow that my uncle made....It is 70 pounds @ 28 inches...very fast...and harder on the joints as I get older...I killed 4 deer with this bow...2 with flint....both flint kills were lung shots that died beteen 30 & 60 yards of my stand...1 pass through...one not....15 yards is a preferred distance.....
My uncle sells these bows between 300-600 dollars depending on design, buck horned ends, snake skin, raw hide,or sinew backed for durability...just like the Indians Justin!
