i made a strung recurve cover

i can't take credit for the idea but i had to copy it. i hunted with a guy once who had one for his widow take down. such a great idea. anyway i'm back home now so i jumped on mum's old sewing machine and knocked one up out of some camo polarfleece i bought at spotlight. it slips onto the limb tips and then closes with velcro along the belly.
it'll be great for protection when in the ute or the boat.

The degree of satisfaction gained from the accomplishment of a goal is directly proportional to the hardships and challenges overcome in order to achieve it.

I can see your arrows, but I can't see your bow or the case you made for it.
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Interesting idea Clint; I haven't seen it done before.

I had only seen limb savers not a full cover but looks good.
Cheers, Toby

I have a big sock made of polarfleece that I drop my strung recurve with Selway quiver on and six arrows into for protection
on those close to home hunting trips.
