INTERESTING INFORMATION.
ARE THERE FACTORYS STILL MAKING THESE BOWS TODAY OR ARE THEY BEING MADE BY A FEW INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE PASSED DOWN THE TECKNIQUES THRU SEVERAL GENERATIONS? I HAVE NEVER SEEN A RECENTLY MADE BOW OF THIS TYPE ALL I HAVE SEEN WERE ANTIQUE AND IN NO CONDITION TO RISK STRINGING OR SHOOTING. WE HAVE BOW HUNTING SEASON HERE FOR MOST GAME AND USE BOWS FROM 50 POUNDS TO OVER 100 POUNDS PULL MOST BEING COMPOUND BOWS. ARE THERE HUNTING SEASONS IN CHINA AND DOES ANYONE STILL USE THE OLD BOWS THAT YOU DESCRIBE?
IN ONE OF THE OLD POSTS THERE WERE PICTURES OF QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT ANTIQUE JAPANESE ARROW POINTS DO YOU HAVE A VARIETY OF CHINESE POINTS IN YOUR COLLECTION?
SINUEW MADE FROM ANIMAL TENDONS AS WELL AS SKIN WERE SOMETIMES USED BY NATIVE AMERICANS FOR WEAPONS MANUFACTURE
