Bows, Tomahawks And Our Cottage Club House In The Woods.
We lived in Elm Cottage for about 20 years, but now it is the New England Colonial Living History Group's club house in the woods. This pic shows my primitive survival bow hanging over the fire place in Elm Cottage where our group meets.
Hi Friend. All depends on what Indians and where. I belive the plains Indians used short sinew backed recurves, but I think the Eastern woodland Indians used longer self-bows. I think I have posted some pics on woodland bows on the blog, perhaps under hunting tools? Regards.
