Thank you for creating this superb and informative and very interesting documentary on the history of Commanche Archery, and how the Bows, and arrows were made, and explaining the oral Commanche language describing the names for the different parts of the bow, arrow and material sinew using in making the sacred weapons, that were apart of their faith and identity. I felt like I was participating in a tour of the museum talk. It is so interesting I had to drop everything. It required my full attention and I watched it many times and tried to learn how to pronounce the sacred names describing the parts of the various sacred Archery weapons. The Native Indian tribes of America were so intelligent, blessed and powerful warriors and Crafts people, they had a great civilisation. Thanks for preserving this their traditions and way of life and sharing with the whole world. I have more knowledge of bow making now and the types of wood, which are very valuable for bow making. I also have a Commanche bow in my collection, which based on your talk just reinforces my opinion. Thank you. Please keep on adding more talks about the Native Indian tribes and Nations of America.

Interesting presentation for this whole series btw. Do the "bulbs" that serve as the points on the blunts seem to be a separate piece stuck onto a conventional shaft, or do they seem to be carved from a single continuous piece of wood?

I make or really made arrows. Those hackles look neat. I would sure like to learn how to use sinew. It is amazingly strong stuff. 😀

Wonderful pieces. What was the average poundage of the bow and draw length ? We’re the bows ever sinew backed ? The Comanche are incredible for their horsemanship and shooting their bows at a full gallop without a bridal. I have also red they would shoot from various positions. This is very special . Thank you sir.
