Broken bow and the history channel
I dont know if any of you folks have seen this new show on the history channel (extreme history).
Any way they have this goof traveling around the world trying to recreate things that were done in history.
Getting to the point, this guy is filmed in the plains with some american indians teaching him how to build authentic arrows and how they hunted buffalo. Even going so far as sneaking through the grass and shooting a buff with blunts.
So far so good I was really interested in the program.
Then the unthinkable happened, One of the gentelmen trying to explain their culture lays a blanket of weapons on the ground,(war clubs,hide shields,knives, and a bow made from the horn of a big horn sheep).
The goof procedes to pick up the bow and asks how many pounds does it draw, as the other guy is trying to say its not strung the bow is in its relaxed position. The goof tries drawing it paying no attention and BRAKES the bow in half.
Giggling he gives a half hearted appology as a box on the screene estimates the bows worth at 5000 dollars.
Dont know what i am looking for in this post other than venting that some one would care so little about something that might be priceless to some one else.
