I've got some final tillering on the pony bow.

That's an interesting idea, but how's she gonna hold on to it? ;~D

I think everyone was too stunned at me waterskiing to actually take a pic.

OTOH, I've enjoyed seeing your horses. Is Osagebowman making them pony bows?

Hair; Heh, actually a short recurve type bow, similar to the ones the Plains Indians used when they buffalo hunted from horseback. A short powerful bow, meant to drive arrow through a buffalo at close range, 10 feet or so. Since there aren't many horse mounted buffalo hunts around here, I'm making the bow with a target weight.

Sam, haven't seen it but another archer did and said the bows looked good to him. The yumi bow is quite different than most we're familiar with, it has two recurve angles in the upper limb and one on the lower. Generally laminated bamboo construction. Also, they are being made out of fiberglass now since the handmade bamboo versions are very pricey.

Best get to the tillering tree, SYL
