Default Formosan bows, arrows and quivers

A small post about bows, as there are not many here.
Formosan bows are made of bamboo or wood. When people are not hunting the string is released. The bowstring made of ramie, is tied to the bottom tip and passed through a hole in the upper tip.The bowstring has normally two holes for adjusting the tension.

Arrows shafts are made of metal or wood. Quivers from bamboo or leather, according to the tribe. The longer one is Atayal, the smaller Tsou.

Hunting scale and method range widely.
