Re: A couple of curves
Hi Rod,
Good work on the bows, the heavily recurved limbs should help in the performance department.
Daryl.

Re: A couple of curves
thanks for putting the pics on for me Jeff
Re: A couple of curves
Rod showed up at my place today to show me the new recurve - I have to admit, if Rod was a smaller bloke I might have tried to mug him for it! One of those bows that appeals on all levels!!! Great work mate.
The best trophies I can hope to acquire as a husband, father, friend or hunter are MEMORIES!
They will travel with me wherever life's path leads...

Re: A couple of curves
I don't like the look of Diamond Wood but your one piece recurves do look great. With that blue I guess this bow is a boy bow huh?

Jeff,
I generally don't like the look of dymondwood either - but this one was impressive (having said that it would look great in some Aussie timbers too)

Re: A couple of curves
Thanks Rod.......wont be from lack of trying if I dont
Re: A couple of curves
If I were a boar I'd be honoured to be shot from that bow!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Re: A couple of curves
Gday Rod,
These Recurves are absolutely unreal!! I love the design of the one that is strung in the first photo. What would one of that design set me back to have built?
Straight shooting,
Colin
