Title: Caddo Longbow
Post by: Scallorn on October 15, 2014, 12:17:58 pm

I have been searching all over the internet for a picture of the Caddo bow from Louisiana. I have read on several different sites that the bow was found in louisiana, and also that there was one found in spiro mounds OK. Could possibly be the same bow? Either way, the bow is said to be around six feet long, elliptical in cross section, and made of osage. Since I live in the heart of Caddo territory along the Red River, I am very interested in this bow and possibly recreating it. does anyone know where to find a good pic' of it?
