Reddoge:
That bow at the bottom of the rack is a left-handed Damon Howatt, 55# @ 28" from Geoff Arnold's memory. It is from about 1962. It was mostly built by Howatt, but was shipped along with a whole bunch of unfinished recurves to Sydney, Australia, as a customs fees dodge. The Aussie boys finished these bows by cutting the sight window and shaping the grip and sealing it all. This one was finished by Geoff's late brother, and is a twin to the 81# bow that Geoff finished and killed the first water buffalo to be taken in Australia with the bow and arrow. That heavy bow was lost in Cyclone Tracey.
