Use of
bow and arrows as a
hunting (and fighting) tool is one of the oldest on Earth and once the weapon of
choice for Native Americans. Utilizing a bow, whether traveling by foot or
on horseback, required a carrying device for the arrows. This is called a
"quiver". Usually carried crosswise on the back, an Indian could easily
reach across his shoulder and grip an arrow for quick use in his bow.
Native American Indians used animal skins for every possible use.
Parfletch
is rawhide that is painted.
