 Thank you for the criticism January 27, 2003

I'm the author of the book, and appreciate the criticisms and praises. I *would* like to let folks know that I wrote this book when I was 19 years young, and had a lot to learn. I wrote it in response to a very bad, and misinformative book that was considered the 'bible' of indigenous archery books at the time. Now, there are many books available on this wonderful subject.
Jim Hamm's book, video, and classes are invaluable. So is TM Hamilton's book, and DC Waldorf as well.
Don't miss my "Voices of Native America" music book as well.
arrows are included ! October 3, 2002

The other title of the same author "making arrows the old way" has its text already fully printed within "making indian bows and arrows the old way". Amazon gave me a discount so I could get both titles at once, and I end up having twice the same text and pictures on arrows... Do not do like me, buy only this title, not the arrow one. Nice book by the way...
 A bit judging and little detail on important subjects. April 25, 2000

This book is overall pretty good, but does not offer much for the slightly experienced bowyer. He is very narrow in his writings and do not discuss options very broadly, but makes a rapid and narrow conclusion. I also missed a little bit on the thing I bought the book for, which was how to make the weapons the old way, with primitive tools. He mentions it briefly, but is much more detailed on the use of metals instead. For beginners it is ok, but there are many similar books that provide better and more detailed information on making bows and arrows.
The title is correct March 31, 2000

This is a book written from the heart by a man who wants to share his knowledge. It is a practical help with explanations and guidance on the correct materials and their applications in the makings of various catergories of indian bows and accessories. The traditions have been handed down through the author and he has taken the courage and effort to write it down. The narrative is perhaps a little naive, but the heart is in the right place. He has gone to a lot of trouble to learn his art, which is different from the glass and wood bowyers. His designs are good and well researched and my youngest now has a passion for a snakeskin bow and natural arrows. A true native design in simplicity and understanding.
