Atsugewi Osage Tribal Bow
« on: July 07, 2010, 12:13:00 AM »
Hello, this is the latest bow that I have finished, made from osage orange 44 inches backed with 2 layers of sinew painted with the Atsugewi flying geese design, this bow is very fast with a draw weight of about 75 pounds at 22 inches, I have only been able to get it to 20 inches so far,

I definitely like that bow, but about twenty pounds lighter. I like the simplicity of its looks. Sinew is amazing stuff. Pup

very cool. those short draw bows are definitly in a class of their own. i may have a hickory one in the works soon. hopefully it turns out half as nice as the one you built.

That would be a great bow for horseback. Running alongside and thwack,,, clean through a bison I bet!

Nice bow. Anyway to get us a pic at full draw?
