Hi Grahame, that is a good vid and a fine looking bow. My wife lived in a place in far Eastern Russia called Kamchatka - they have indigenous populations that draw some similar cultural hunting practices to Native Americans and Inuit. I will have to get my wife to ask her family to look into bows from this region.
Thanks for the vid

Hi Jase
I seem to remember the that the indigenous inhabitants of the Peninsula used Cable-backed bows amongst othe stuff. Greater Russia Archery is interesting as you have everything from Sami types bows in the North West to Asiatic style bows of the Carpathian Basin to Sino-styled bow of the East to the bows used in the far east are like Siberia and the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The Kamchatka Peninsula is a long walk from the Kuban River and the Black Sea. It also tend to rain a lot in Kamchatka.Buranurra wrote:Hi Grahame, that is a good vid and a fine looking bow.

Indeed, my wife is Kubanski born in that region and lived there for 18 years then her family moved to Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka. I went to Kamchatka 3 years ago for 4 weeks. Went to the tundra on a 5 day camping fishing trip with my brother in law and saw around 60 Grizzly bears on that trip. Suffice it to say the men were heavily armed.GrahameA wrote:Hi Jase

I was simply making a suggestion that I wish more people would post up photos (such as your fine pics) for us to see is all. Many people say they enjoy seeing the photos that get posted up but they hardly ever post up photos themselves so others might enjoy them or even comment on the ones that are posted up.
