MY FIRST store bought brand new Recurve
« on: November 04, 2010, 12:49:00 PM »
arrived in the mail today.  I'm one of the lucky ones. My brother builds bows so I have never purchased a bow before. Not true I did buy a longbow in Maine.  Hope this ones a good one.

It's also my first experience with fancy stuff and a take down to boot.

New bow?  Why there's nothing left but the skeleton!  Must be termites?

Seriously, looks racy and I hope it's a shooter for you.      :thumbsup:     :archer:

Pete knows all about it. Had to ask his permission before I took delivery. I know who butters my bread and make me bows.


It is my training bow so give me a little slack.

He has a brand new longbow on the bench for me now
Desert Camo, red cedar limbs.

Bow is fun to shoot and has a hole in front for a camera mount.  Now I will be able to video all my misses

 


Here is a demo of camera mount.

Heck! Why would I get upset,  That there bow is where I come from!  I was shootin fancier bows than that back in 1975.( and still do every so often)  Heck 70 meters was mid range!  I come from a target background and have nothin but respect for what that type of bow can teach a shooter.  

Now the real reason I am not mad.  I will steal all of the critical dimensions off of the limbs, Compare them to the limbs of the different Hoyt, Pearson, PSE, Dream Catcher and custom bows that I have and see what I can learn.

Sometime compare a Binghams TD limb to a Hoyt TD limb.   OH my, did I say that?
