African Yaka? Bow.

WOW! What a lot of great information! Thanks especially to Lew and Luc for the images.

The binding of the nocks is mostly flattened wire, though some have rattan. The nocks do fit the bowstring.

I will post additional pictures of the bow as it is wrapped with rattan.

Hi Bill, very nice set. Maybe some arrow can be used to fish, but this is only speculation. The form of the bow, neverthless, is different form the ones illustrated. It looks like more "advanced" design, as the recurved form gives less set when tensed and more power per inch on lenght.
Regards
