Radical Designed bows..Pics?
« on: December 07, 2010, 12:38:00 PM »
Hello everyone,

Wondering if it might be neat to see pics of unconventionally designed tradbows.

Split limbs, stackedlimbs, shoot thru risers..etc
I don't know what is out there but would be cool to see.

Thanks,

   :thumbsup:

Hey that's cool!
Thanks!
Were the "horns" for weight and balance do you know?

I don't think that is radical design. Looks like just a couple ugly warts for balance.

You guys go ahead and laugh! It's my favorite target bow of all time. Shoots like an olymipic FITA bow. I find it quite handsome!!!! I'm refinishing mine, pics to come this winter.....

Yeah.  Those oddball "horns" lead to the stabilizers all technogizzie bows now use.  The idea was to add weight ahead of the limbs for stability.  Less extreme but same idea in the Ben Pearson Colt, Browning Explorer II, Bear Tamerlane, etc. of the late 60's & early 70's - but I think the Pearson Colt is a sexy bow ;-)

Love the looks of those. Don't Predator bows have a bit of that forward weight design to them?

I'm afraid that York fell out of an Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down   ;)

I saw this bow on a hunting show awhile back, and thought it was interesting. It's called a Pennobscot bow. You can view it at:  www.woodland  archery .com

In the late '50's and early '60's custom bow makers in California were turning out thumb hole risers much like thumb hole gun stocks.  Some went so far as to have a paddle extension that gave added stability by contacting the shooters wrist.  Didn't see the thumb hole stocks on hunting bows.  They were primarily on 66" target bows which were popular in those days.    Maybe                      
 someone out there has one and could provide a picture.
