Strange bow on the Bay
« on: September 01, 2008, 10:19:00 AM »
I saw this on E8ay. It seems maybe Rich told me he'd been working on a new way of stringing this type of bow. It's a variant of the "step through method" and it "only hurts for a little while"!   :knothead:  CKruse

Long overdraw.  Shoots 12" arrows.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

This bow must be from Wisconsin - it looks like a giant cheese slicer.

The 1st time it was listed, he wanted 300 for openers.
Anybody with what the theory was?? looks like a cable holder for a wheelie bow.

I am just guessing but it may have been to hold the bow at full draw while waiting for a shot. There were other devices years ago that did the same thing. I have not seen one like this before  that was permanently attached to the bow.

Hope your all kidding, it's a stabilizer same as the metal ones sticking out of the front of every olympic shooters bow.

Yep, just a variation of a stabilizer. It actually was threaded and screwed on and off of the bow. If you looked at the other pictures, it was crafted quite nicely. CKruse

If you shoot it like it is strung, it is a right handed bow withe the stabaliser out front.

What's so unusual about that?  Other than the stabalizer is wood to match the riser
