What kind of weapons did the Comanche Indians use and how did they make it?
The autumn (fall) was he time when the Pawnee tribes made tools and equipment needed during the year.
Sources for materials were limited: the buffalo and other animals, wood (mainly cottonwood, willow, elm, ash, post oak and dogwood from along the streams and riverbanks), reeds and grasses. Two important materials were missing from the Pawnee tribes' homeland: clay and stone. These were obtained in trade with other tribes or by war parties venturing into the lands of their enemies.
Buffalo hair was braided into strong rope, horns were made into eating spoons, shoulder blades made hoes or spades, bones made tools for processing hides or straightening arrowshafts, buffalo sinews made bowstrings and sewing thread.
Elm wood made large tubs (mortars) with post oak for the pestles - together they were used to process maize or other foods. Dogwood made arrowshafts, ash made bows and pipestems, post oak made bowls.
Dried grasses made mats to line the floors of earth lodges and tipis, porcupine grass made stiff brushes for the hair.
Clay was shaped into simple pots until metal cooking pots became available from white traders, stone was made into arrow points up to the 1830s (when metal trade points took over completely), sandstone blocks were used to smooth arrowshafts and pipe bowls of soft Catlinite stone.
Women made strong wooden sticks seven feet long called hiku, sharp at one end and forked at the other, for making shallow holes for tent pegs, for carrying other items or for digging in general. These hiku were about 2 1/2 inches thick. Every woman and girl knew how to make one and construction took a whole day.
Women also made tent pegs of dogwood saplings.

How did the comanches use the bow?
Like all Plains tribes the Cheyenne used the ordinary bow (ma'tsheshke) and arrows (maahotse) for both hunting and warfare.
Cheyenne bows were between 33 and 52 inches long, the shorter ones made of mountain sheep horn reinforced with sinew, the longer type made of Osage orange wood, hickory or ash wood. Arrows were 24 to 28 inches and made of dogwood, fitted with turkey, buzzard or eagle feathers and metal points. The shafts were typically painted with multiple bands of colour and feathers could be trimmed into very distinctive shapes. Because of the striped turkey feathers typically used by Southern Cheyenne, the tribe was often called "Striped Feather Arrows".
A set of four sacred arrows, kept in a "medicine bundle" and entrusted to a long line of selected "keepers", were considered to be living things given to the tribe by Maheo (the creator God). They represented the entire Cheyenne people and were venerated as Holy. Each arrow was considered to be worth 100 horses.
The first link below takes you to an image of an original Cheyenne bow and arrow case, which was worn horizontally across the back:
The second link is a drawing by Cheyenne warrior Howling Wolf of himself using a bow for hunting a buffalo - his name is drawn above him in pictorial form and he seems to have used four arrows already without killing the animal (he is shooting from the buffalo's left, when hunters usually shot from the right):
