cherokee bow design?

[Dictionary]

how accurate can we say TTBB 2 is anyhow? Al herrin denied the simple fact that most of the cherokee used 2 fletch.....when in fact they did. Then he generalizes that the accepted length for a hunting bow is 61 inches and war bow is 72? This seems too much influenced by european standards.

Many diagrams and discriptions of Cherokee and geographically-related Choctaw and Seminole bows and arrows in Jim Hamm's books.

Like many of the Eastern Woodlands Indians, the Cherokee used D'bows with a rectangular cross section and "diamond" shaped tips.  Bows were built in different sizes and strengths depending on the intended use and individual preference.  I don't think there was a particular style associated with the Cherokee.  Black locust and hickory seemed to be the most common bow woods used.  Arrows were often made from split hickory.  The strings were most often made from twisted rawhide.
