Link to article and a very good news video.

The width and heat-bent shape echo other West Coast bows. It is beautifully designed and crafted, that's for sure! Thanks for sharing, Kathi.

Amazing story!

That is such an awesome find

Quite the find. Would be great if the do a 3D scan of it so it can be replicated to bring traditional bows and culture back to life.

Why modern bows are far superior.

There’s more technology in a modern compound bow than an old bolt action rifle.

What's traditional hunting??

Rocks, sticks??

Firearms have been used for hundreds of years.

Traditional bow hunting

Boomie, I agree. I'd love to have a duplicate of that bow strung with dogbane or milkweed cordage and shoot obsidian-tipped arrows of red osier dogwood with it.
Nothing quite like "experimental archaeology."

If I was a traditional bow maker, I would be all over this
