When I was overseas I had a takedown recurve with me and when it came time to rotate home I packed up the bow and mailed it from the US Army mail outpost at the place I was at...in the farthest remote part of Afghanistan, in the Hindu Kush Mountains where Ghengis Khan used to ride...
I couldn't help wondering if I was handling my bow for the last time...
I cannot imagine the journey that Black Widow bow made all the way home, from one of the most remote places in the world.. in the hands of the Army and the USPS...
When I finally got home the bow was already there.
Undamaged.
