another authentic looking bow, over what distance  will a bow like that be effective?

I haven't shot for distance yet but I would say it could go 150 at least with the right arrow. Up close 10 20 yards its on the mark.

That is one to admire for sure.  All the pictures are interesting, but to see how the bow can just be so easily carried in the quiver like that - very interesting.  Very practical.  Something like that is definitely on my build list...don't know how well sinew backing would hold up on our humidity though...

I sealed the bow after painting with true oil, seems to be holding well, I usually try shooting the Bows I make at the beach were it is legal to see if the moisture effects the sinews.

very authentic looking. that is what primitive is all about. those little bows can sure shoot, the trick is to be able to shoot them as well. good job.
