Very cool bow and some great pics!

Just wondering........How come termites don't make those mounds over here in the states?? Lord knows we already have plenty of the wood wasting bugs here! Never saw one of their mounds though.

Beautiful bow, and it hates termite mounds! Is it going to get a chance to shoot some furry animals down the road?

I hope so, Centaur!

Douglas, I really don't know why it is that only arid areas in the tropics seem to have termite mounds.

Nice bow , and targets Ben!!There are termite mounds like that in our country but I can't dare make them into targets, its a common belief here that they are the dwellings of small unseen creatures a lot like us but with powers beyond ours.it is not uncommon to hear that someone had a leg swollen and painful when he accidentally stepped on one of those,worst if its their ba_ls that get swollen and painful!!   :D    :banghead:    :D

With those at stake, I guess you wouldn't want to take a poke at them, Gil. Ben, it looks like Gabby and your bow are living the good life. "Hell west and crooked" is now part of my vocabulary. Thanks!

A great find from a great past.    :cool:    Not only is it a great recurve, but finding a recurve in a 68" length is quite remarkable.    :)   Like the old saying, "They don't make them like they use to".    :D
