Blatsa returned to the cave, applying some finishing touches to the bow limb, notching the ends so that the ties do not slip. He then ties the bowstring to the bow, and points the bow at the ceiling, pulling the string back and applying a good deal of pressure. The bow bends evenly and the ties do not noticeably slip. Blatsa nods with satisfaction, and then walks over to the skeleton in the back, to see if the leg bones were still there.
