Doin't underestamate the power of the early bows not all were weak. Last plains bow I made was 43" tip to tip and drew 70 pounds at 23" it was made of vinemaple and had 3 layers of sinew on the back It would put a 24" arrow out at 175 feet per second the arrow whigh was in the 350 grains area some more and some less as I was using wild rose for shafts and they were on the light side. The arrow points I make now are made of naveculite (spelled wrong) as they are very strong and add a little more whight then glass points. They did make some small points for hunting as they had to go a long way to get rock and used all that they could. The point was just to get the arrow into the body and cut and a small point would usely go deeper into the deer or elk or what ever was being shot at the time. TomN
