Title: Bow ID?
Post by: EricW on March 09, 2012, 08:31:00 AM

Found this and was curious if anyone has see a bow like this before. It looks to be made out of bamboo with a short piece tied to the front. One end of the short piece is open and the other end is closed. Looks like a sinew string.

Proto Grumley Bush bow? With an early version of Fred's "Stick Man"?


This got a bunch of responses on the other site.
