This bow follows the measurements of the original in the Museum of Natural History, NY.  It was collected from the Hopi tribe in the American Southwest. It measures 50 inches long, and tapering down to 3/8th inches nocks.  Our replica here follows these dimensions, and was made in Serviceberry wood.  Following the bows width and thickness dimensions and tiller shape, yielded a bow of 44 lbs of pull, at 22 inches of draw, which was a suprisingly positive result.  Unstrung bow only took 1.5 inches of set. The measurements of this bow lead us to believe this was only pulled to the chest in a low level "snap shot" unlike our modern pull to the chin longbows. The other option is that it was pulled to the chin but for an archer with much less draw length.  This bow is functional, it addition to being a faithful replica of original artifact. It is ONLY tested to 22 inches of draw length, and should not be pulled past this length.  The weapon should be considered dangerous and possibly lethal so customer is responsible for safe use of the weapon if tested.
