That is super cool! I love finding artifacts and collecting arrowheads . We have a piece of property that I have found over 300 arrow head on in one small area.
42" bow!
I watched a video of a guy going over different bows from some tribe near the Great Lakes. Basically had 4 historical bow types that were replicas of bows they had found.
The guy was supposed to be a descendant of that tribe. Made sense on the bow lengths after he described them.
A war bow, a winter bow(longer) a summer bow, and a very short squirrel bow.
His explanation of the winter vs summer bow made sense. The summer bow was very short. He explains that the woods and undergrowth are very thick. A long bow was hard to carry through the thick stuff. In winter it was very open and afforded longer shots and more maneuverability.
A short summer bow was as long as your torso and head combo. You could hold it against your body as you walked through brush and nothing stuck out past your head or torso.
He had videos of him doing this in heavy thickets and it made sense.
