What do you guys do with bows that are not shoot-able any more. Do you display them or cut em up and get rid of them. I have a recent casualty and I'm undecided what to do. Especially since the damage to the bow is hardly noticeable.

I use one for a ceiling light. It's a TD Recurve. The back faces downwards, and in the middle of each limb hangs a small "miner's" type lantern. Step on the switch and both lamps light up. I think it's pretty neat, and it's nice enough that the o'lady doesn't complain about it hangin' up. It hangs by my turkey mount to light it up.

I just have mine hanging on the wall. I think they are works of art, and should be displayed as such when the functional purpose is gone...
Kind of like the mona lisa or a picasso...

You can use them as curtain rods if you have your own area.
