  • A reproduction of my grandfather's bow and a short Osage orange bow, shooting and talking about their significance to me. I get a little sentimental when talking about Kiowa stuff, because that's where it all began for me!

    Love these videos man. I am Inuit from southern Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. I’ve been learning more and more about bowmaking and I’m trying to recreate old Inuit style bows, seeing you keeping your culture alive is inspiring! Please don’t stop uploading.

    Please turn your phone horizontal! Better view and easier to stay in shot.

    I have started my first bow while in quarentine, and trying my best to stay true to authentic blackfoot bows. Talking to elders, reading books, looking at pictures of bows in the museums. What i found is that plains bows where short 40 inchs at the most, and the arrows typically where a few inches shorter then modern arrows with the fleching almost a 1/3 of the arrow. Not all of them, these where blackfoot and northern plains bows i know some arrows where actually longer then modern arrows. Anyways hopes the info helps. It looks like your woodland bows are a bit longer which makes sense because there isnt an abundance of hard woods out here on the prairie lol

    Not shooting the pinch grip now? Or just not on these type of bows?

      Pinch grip or tertiary is still my main release, but that's when I don't smash my thumb lol. This style of bow should be shot with a secondary or tertiary, and an extended pointer finger for support on the bow hand.

      Read the historical accounts before you take jabs at people. Just shining a light on your own ignorance.
      Mountain Chief, Blackfoot leader..."
      “Sometimes when a hunter rode side by side with a buffalo, and shot the animal, the arrow would go clear through. The Indians were very proud and careful of their arrows. They did not wish to break them. That is the reason why they shot them on the side, so that when the buffalo fell the arrow would not be broken.”

    Pretty cool...en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Horn

      That's the one! Hangu-ah was translated roughly to mean gleaming or shining horn, and was later adapted to our last name after his death.
