    Default Need some help from the ancient ones!

    What I got here is an ancient tribal bow. I was asked by someone to identify this bow here is what he said.

    "I have this set with about six arrows all carved out of bamboo. Each unique , with some kind of black tattoo looking symbols on them. The bow has no string and would maybe like to add one. Any ideas where I could get help identifying this set? Is it a true tribal or replica? I dont know."

    Here are some pics.

    If they're replicas, someone did a nice job! Probably the best site I know of to help identify that archery gear would be the PaleoPlanet forums. Some of the guys over there do some increadable work. Here's a link.
