- Where the deer and the antelope play
Raised this one from the ashes of a failed project. It was supposed to be an antelope hunting bow, backed with dogbane fibers. Those unfortunately proved a failure as bow backing. So I steamed off the backing, backed the wood core with pronghorn rawhide and rattlesnake skin, and made it into a nice kid’s bow.
Home-tanned, elk leather grip, held on with elk sinew, with antler arrow rests.
Antler limb tip overlays
The arrows are made from phragamite reeds, fletched with pheasant primaries and held together with elk sinew. 60 grain bodkin target points.
Hickory heartwood is beautiful stuff.
