Chief A.J.’s sling bow

Chief A.J.’s sling bow shoots 28-inch arrows and sells for about $85. The hunting tools are manufactured at a machine shop in Illinois where he employs a number of Cherokees and Winnebagos, but Chief A.J. said he assembles each one himself. The premium rubber tubing he said he needs to get the maximum power from the sling bow comes from a plant in Akron.

Huffer plans to go to federal court in Urbana next week armed with engineering data that will make his case that the sling bow has the necessary power to make it a humane method for harvesting big game. He also expects to present as evidence the grizzly bear he took in Alaska with the sling bow and a moose he shot in Utah.
