Description


Bows and arrows made by Victor Kuhn

Arrows: River cane shaft, osage orange foreshaft, wild plum knocks, wild geese fletching, animal sinew and arrowheads made of wood, steel, antelope bone and stone. 



 


Bow and arrows are made in Southeast Native American style. This set is fully functional, though it is meant for display (the arrows are very delicate). Four different types of arrow points represent the different styles used throughout the Southeast, with metal being used after contact with Europeans.
