The rabbit lost his tail cause the fox tricked him and told him to stick it thru the ice to catch fish he became stuck and the bear snatched him out by his ears leaving his bushy tail behind and streching his long ears... Cherokee story "how the rabbit lost his tail" :)

Nice stave and vid.
Personally I dont think Otzi would have backed its bow.
I think he relied on the length of the bow that was far taller then he was
