I had thought that I was the one to mail out the 2 worst packaged bows ever mailed, had some shoulder work done and I had to wrap them both one handed.

whoever did that one  :notworthy:  the honor now belongs to you.

Just think the bow has been around 30+ years with not problem and someone mailed it like that...could have destroyed a good bow.  Sad!!

If you wrap the bow a couple more times with duck tape you might remove the rest of the camo paint.That was actually a high tech paint stripping system.

Hmmmmmm, opaque strech wrap.  Ya suppose we could get one of the sponsors to carry that?  That is too funny.  And I always tried to secure carpet roll cores for shipping.  Glad you got it in one piece.

WOW !!!!

  I receive a recurve in one of those triangle box that you can get from the PO, it didn't have any packaging and thelimb tips wasn't wraped.
  They just put in box and mailed it ..
When I got it the limb tip was sticking out of the box about 3 in..  

Do you think it might be from same guy   :biglaugh:

At least they put a wrapper on the bow. Next time they might just put some stamps on one limb and an address label on the other.
Hope it didn't get mailed as a 52 AMO magnum and delivered as a 48 AMO super magnum.
