No pictures at this time, but I have a recurve bow now. I have shot a bow in over 30 years and I am looking forward to it. I bought a string and 5 practice arrows at the local archery shop to get me started. The bow was my wife's grandfather's. It could use a sanding and coat of stain, but it is not too bad. It has what seems to be a snake skin grip (or whatever you call the part you hold on to). I am not going to do any refinishing until I confirm that this cool, nostalgic thing works. I hope it does, because I sure as heck can't afford a compound bow any time soon. It will be fun to learn a whole new sport.

Well bummer. Not surprised but disappointed. The bow broke when I tried to string it. Wood to old. I guess the good part is that it gave me the jump start I needed to get in to archery. Will have to be on the prowl for another recurve.

Yep, I already have a potential bow picked out based on his posts in the past.

Good going! A recurve is an inexpensive (well, less expensive) way to get in to archery, huess I'm gonna have to dig mine out. |
