Fourteen Hands


Native Americans have been witnessed riding a horse full speed shooting smooth bore guns then charging the gun with powder and spitting lead balls down the gun barrel to fire again and again. If they got a gun the first thing they would do was to cut the barrel off and knock off the sights to make it lighter.
If they got pants from the trading post, they cut the legs off them, threw away the pant and made leggings from the legs. More comfortable.
Before guns they adapted their weapons for horses. The clubs were made with much longer handles to reach his opponent. He didn't need a long bow. The bow was very short. He could ride along side the buffalo and shoot it in the side. No More Buffalo Jumps (cliffs to run them off)
