Description
The bow and arrow have been an integral part of American Indian culture for centuries. From the far North to the tip of South America, their equipment varied greatly in quality, with some of the finest bows made in the Northwest region of North America. This book aims to correct common misconceptions about Indian archery and provide a true picture of this ancient art as practiced by its original practitioners. The Laubins explore various aspects of archery tackle used by American Indians, including bow making, sinewed bows, horn bows, strings, arrows, quivers, shooting techniques, medicine bows, crossbows, and blowguns. By examining these different components, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the ingenuity and importance of archery in everyday Indian life. This book offers valuable information on the use of archery tackle by American Indians, making it an essential resource for those interested in learning about this unique aspect of Native American culture.
