Plains Indian Bows

Chickasaw Bowyer Eric Smith.

"I now have 2 bows and several arrows that Eric has made for me. I can attest that he is quite skilled as a bowyer. The bows are not toys. They are not meant to be hung up strung with painted feathers or bells attached like I have seen in Native American stores. These bows can be placed in museums or they could be used to hunt with and shoot anything from a rabbit to a buffalo. I recently contacted Eric to make me a powerful osage sinew backed horse bow, like would have been used to hunt the buffalo with. I can tell you that this is one stout bow that packs a punch! It looks as if it would have been used in the mid 1800's and complete with a real sinew string and brain tanned handle. His arrows are mean looking, complete with sinew wrapping, real carved wood shafts (not dowels) earth paints and lightning grooves."

"Eric produces some of the finest, most authentic indian bows and arrows that I have seen. I highly recommend his work."

"I have purchased from Eric Smith a sinew-backed, recurved Osage horse bow and ten dogwood arrows with trade points and turkey fletching. I am quite pleased with the bow and arrows, which are very well made and historically accurate. In my opinion, Eric is not only a talented, experienced craftsman with a profound knowledge of Plains Indian archery, but he is also a man of integrity who deals with others in a fair, honest, and straightforward manner."
