Title: Another potential lamp project??
Post by: johnnyrazorhead on February 15, 2012, 08:11:00 PM

Just saw this Bear bow on the big auction site and seeing the way this fellow is drawing the bow back I was wondering if someone may just have another potential bow lamp coming soon.

Poor pitiful b*******ds. They're just ignorant, but it's such a shame for that to happen to a good bow.  A Little Bear is a great bow for a kid-worse than doing same to a mediocre old adult bow!

It could be worse...

Think of what would happen to those poor bows if he tried to string them up so he could pull them right.

I don't think pulling them backwards will hurt them as much as if he tried to string 'em up.

I just looked at his **** listings.  Apparently enough folk told him about it that he now knows it is the wrong way.  My guess is he won't do it again.

Hayslope,
It looks like that bow was strung backwards and broke.
What a shame.

When I got my first bow at age 7, my mom and older brother wanted me to string it backwards but I said "no it's called a recurve, and it goes this way"
I had a neck of a time talking them into letting me string my bow the right way.

The seller is optimistic, though:

"The top limb is still in excellent condition."

Now we know what happened to their archery coach.

Rest in Peace, Miss Brown.
