A new functional replica of a Shawnee tribe bow in the collections of the University Of Pennsylvania Museum. The bow faithfully follows the measurements of the original, at 54 inches long, and 1 and 1/4ths inches wide throughout most of limbs, tapering down to 7/8ths above tapered nocks. This is not a mass production item, but a traditional bow in authentic materials made by Michael Frank, the bowyer here.  The original was made in Hickory and this replica was made in Hickory as well, after seasoning indoors for over a year.  It follows all the knots and undulations of the natural tree stave(see close up pics), and is not violated the way a modern board is machined.  By following the width and thickness measurements, our result was a bow shooting 50 pounds of pull at 26 inches of draw.  This wonderful stave took testing shots with 0 to 1 inches of set, as shown in the pictures above. The bow was only tested to 26 inches which is proper for this length, and it should not be drawn further than that. Although a replica, it is fully functional and should be considered dangerous and deadly, with the buyer assuming all responsibility for its safe use.   The bow comes with a modern dacron string in natural color.
