This Howatt Eldorado was pretty unusual. Ivory handle, offset from the riser. Double curve in the limbs.

I love those German bows.  You get to feel the character of the wood in your hands.  Would probably be pretty heavy though.  Makes me want to wear liederhosen(sp).

[YORNOC]

KAT, yes, I was kidding. I did have one, but far from nice. One of the ugliest bows ever, especially in purple.

Anyone got a picture of the infamous Penobscot to put on here?They always amazed me.

Go to Bogenunikate and click on the list at the top of the page.

Beumaker- I love that dark chocolate one in the middle that looks like an old root wad or a tree stump.....That is cool!
I want one!
Do you know what the name of it is?

I love this thread!

I kinda like those Super High Grips.  The reason for them anyway.

Those "ballancers" are in the same place as T/D bolts.  Maybe someone got the idea since the bolts were already there?  Hmmm

[Buemaker]

Semo-Hunter if you click on Bogenunikate you will fine all the different bows named at the top of the page. There is several pictures of all the bows.
The one you mention is named Moria 1. Bue--.

The reason for the high grip is to place the hand in a horizontal position for target competition. It was called the California grip and was popular before the metal risered bows came around, usually used with a wrist sling so that none of your fingers even wrapped around the bow at all. Any bow torque at all from your grip and you weren't in the finals!  I shoot that way with my hunting bows, but just use my index finger to keep the bow from falling forward on the release.

I guess I'm more a traditionalist on how a bow "should" look and the photos of the bows in this topic just don't appeal to me.

[YORNOC]

Yeah, pretty extreme, but thats the thread. If it were asking the nicest looking bows we own...that would be quite different!
