Great looking bow! It would be really cool to see a video clip of you shooting the bow!!! Is that possible for you?

Great job!!

beautiful gear man!!
the hide used for the quiver, is from the small desert dwelling antelope, called a springbuck (south africas national animal) so named for their tendancy to "pronk" or "spring". which is the act of jumping stiff legged, straight up into the air.
in my humble opinion, these are the best eating of the african antelope, theyre all good, but man springbuck is the best- often referred to as "kalahari lamb".they are  not very big though bit smaller than the sitka, or black tailed mulie.

 Yes that is the way most west coast natives shot, look up ishi and the way he shot, Ishi's tribe was a neighbor of the Atsugewi so there methods are similar the main difference is the Atsugewi did not use the same release as ishis  
Now you've got my curiousity going...  I must sadly admit that I don't know much in the way of history, here.  Maybe you could write out some some of the practices and history of your tribe in reference to bows?  Never thought about different shooting styles, releases, etc.  Anyway, thanks for sharing and again-really cool bow and quiver.
