Lewis Carroll made nice shooting Olympic bows  in the early 70's. Very popular with the Collegiate FITA shooters.

Yeah!! Author (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) pen name Lewis Carroll in 1865 and resurrected as a bowyer in the 1970's. Now that is a career.............. Must be doing something right!    :thumbsup:

Look under Carroll Archery... There is some info out there!
