The steel-tipped shaft drove 22 inches past entry, the obsidian point 30 inches! For decades after firearms became available on our frontier, many American Indians stuck with the bow. It was lighter in hand and could be repaired, replaced in the field. Arrows could be made from natural materials. The bow was lightweight, quiet, reliable. Plains Indians could shoot arrows more accurately than bullets, from a galloping horse. The bowman pushed as he pulled, easily maintaining his balance. Most mounted Indians drew to the chest, shy of the arrowhead.
Powder fired by a spark in the chamber marked a watershed in firearms development. New types of ammunition and the guns to fire them came pell-mell. In 1818, Englishman Joseph Manton built a gun with a spring-loaded catch that held a tiny tube of fulminate against the side of the barrel, over the touch-hole. The hammer crushed the fulminate, and breech pressure blew the tube away. The Merrill gun, 14,500 of which were bought by the British government, employed this mechanism. In 1821, the British gun maker Westley Richards employed fulminate primers in a flintlock-style pan.
Its thickness suggested a draw force of 100 pounds or more. Salvagers concluded this and other staves were unfinished. But evidence of tillering after manufacture (trimming the ends to speed limb action), and the fitting of horn nocks showed the bows ready for service.
