Thanks again Bill, i failed to answer your question about what i used for the shaft it`s 5/16th shaft from the hardware store.
Lot of interesting stuff about the Native American, as long as they don`t try and take over my bathtub.

Re: Made a short plains bow and arrows. new arrow added.
Thanks guys, this arrow is for looks only and probably won`t shoot it, i mainly wanted to see how horn worked for a point.
I did see a video showing what your talking about Bill that`s neat too.

Re: Made a short plains bow and arrows.
Thanks Grizz, it shoots pretty good and packs a punch at short range not much draw length to work with.
I`ll see if i can find the video shooting it.

Re: Made a short plains bow and arrows.
Whipped out another one this morning took about a hour, it`s a hair thicker and about 1/8th wider on the ends. I draw the shape on with pencil and cut it out on the table saw then smooth it out with the side grinder by eye no tiller just eye ball it. So far they bend evenly. :) https://i.imgur.com/9...

Re: Made a short plains bow and arrows.
Thanks Bill, this one may break too who knows but after it warms up i`ll test it more.
It shoots faster than i thought but i`m sure it`s a short range affair.
Those American Indians were pretty deadly with the bow for sure.

Made a short plains bow and arrows. new arrow added.
Made from a red oak board with real straight grain 40 inches long.
Arrows are 21 inch with a crude job of fetching, shoots real nice across te living room into a box.
Been doing some studying about the short bows they used on horse back so had to make one.

Thanks, i didn`t have any light coil wire so used standard electric wire with plastic coating which works but takes more current to run thus running on a 12 volt lawn mower battery.
