Question about bows and arrows

Posted by Sarah on August 16, 1998 at 18:44:20:

All,

I'm plowing through Cooper's book, enjoying it greatly. I noticed during the elk hunt that Cooper has Uncas shooting the elk with a bow and arrow, and has referred to the use of bows and arrows a couple other times so far. I noticed there are any bows and arrows in Mann's film. Does anyone know why? Are bows and arrows a thing of old Hollywood and not modern films of Indians or perhaps they would not have fit his idea of what it all needed to look like? Thoughts, anyone?

Thanks,
Sarah
