urock

Updated: July 15, 2025

It seemed like a sign, a good omen, for we playfully indulge in omens in these romantic adventures with the bow. Studying this implement later I found it apparently to be a birch Urock bow, some five feet long, having nocks and a place for the usual perpendicular piece of wood bound on at the handle to check the string. It would have pulled about sixty pounds, good enough for caribou hunting.
