Native Americans almost always got it right about all things outdoors. “Hackberry” among several tribes means “tree that breeze knocks over, only good for burning”, and that sure looks like a hackberry tree. Not the best bow wood (that of course is osage), but I have seen selfbows made of hackberry. After several shots, hackberry tends to follow the string pretty bad. Life’s too short to make a bow of hackberry, just make a campfire of it.
