Great pics everyone. Back when I first started bulding bows I made the recurve (later called the pup once I went into business) with the idea I was going to use some scraps I had left over to make a crossbow. When I got the first one out of the form I thought it would make a cool bow for young kids to use. I dumped the crossbow idea and never gave it another thought. I made some of the 36" recurves for my friend's kids and once I started the business in 2006, the pup recurves were the first bows I sold. It all started by accident pretty much. I've tweaked the design a little, but they are still pretty close to how they started.
