A: Persimmon wood bow, 53" nock to nock, 58# @ 23"
draw. Handle wrapped in full grain deer hide, laced with
waxed/rolled hide strip. Originally based on bows in various
museums and Allely & Hamm. Shortened
4" due to breakage of one tip; shoots better now.
B: Cane and shoot shaft arrows, turkey wing three-fletched arrows,
bone, stone and steel trade point heads. 24" long. See Allely
and Hamm, Swanton, Hudson, etc. for documentation.
C: Simple quiver, laced with strip of hide, oiled heavily and top
lined with "wolf" (coyote) fur. Self leather strap. Little
documentation of 18th century southern quivers exists, though see Allely
& Hamm for a few examples. There are some in museums.
