Comanche horse bow
« on: August 15, 2023, 10:14:26 PM »
Here is a Comanche horse bow made for a customer.
It’s made of hackberry, which I understand to be one of the wood choices of 19th century Comanche. It’s 48” (longer than traditional) and pulling about 40# @ 20”. It’s a VERY snappy little bow and pleased with the result. It has a Tung oil finish.
I want one for myself now!

I have an 1800s Sioux bow that has a string notch on one end the same as that bow.
