Western Style Bow and Arrows by Keith Casteel

Product Description

This is a very nice bow and arrow set made by Keith Casteel 25-30 years ago. It has seen very little use and is in excellent condition although the deerskin quiver is starting to become weak from age. The bow is hickory and is backed with rattlesnake skin. The tips and the leather grip has sinew wrappings. The owner says he has never strung it but it is probably close to a 50 pound pull. It measures 68″ in length. There are arrow rests on both sides of the grip to accommodate left or right hand shooters. The twelve arrows are 28″ in length and made from a light hardwood. Six have field points with the rest having steel trade type points. The turkey fletching is properly held in place with sinew as was the fashion of the time.The back of the quiver is signed by Keith. This is a very unusual item by one of the top gunmakers of the day. Keith is now in his 90s.
