Title: Otzi's bow
Post by: FrankM on April 15, 2010, 02:19:00 AM
Interesting study of the man who was found in a peat bog. He was about 8,000 years old and had a yew bow. They would like to see someone duplicate his bow and string and see if their findings are correct. If I was a bowyer, I'd be severely tempted! Has this been done?
