Unique for sure! Took a long time and a skilled hand to do all that carving. The antlers throw off the lines of a "conventional" bow, but if they are secured well, Im sure it shoots ok.
All that work, I wonder if it was meant as an ornament/wallhanger though...

Would hate to try to navigate through thick brush with it.  Definitely unique.

I think it is neat looking but not to practical! Would look alot nice if it didn't have white glass on it!

I'm all about shock value.  I'd show up to a shoot with it while wearing a spandex body suit.  

But other than that, its a bit tacky.

Art is in the eye of the beholder, I had this on my watch list on cheese bay to show a friend and I look at it like a unique labor of love, I could own it but more likely won't.

The person who made it obviously has a few skills. Sometimes talented people don't know when to stop though.    :readit:  

If it is a shooter, ugly can be forgiven.   :saywhat:

Other than the white glass it's a pretty bow.
