Well snag, are you going to keep it a secret?  You must have deleted the photo after you posted.

The pic wouldn't post. So I edited the thread and was told it wouldn't post...??? It was a picture of a guy holding a recurve on his head. He had a hold of each limb tip and was pulling down with the string on the wrong side of the bow! It was on a bid site.

I think that's just a reverse handle bow.   Reverse to the way the rest of it is.....

Hey Snag,

Once he gets the bow strung, he can take it out and let the Texaco man shoot it a few times.

God, that's painful to look at. There should be a bow abuse hotline.

What I want to write would get pulled/deleted.
That is unblievable, I've seen that Texaco man
photo before.It makes me cringe. Even a toddler would know that's wrong.
I've seen several photos of bows strung that way on E---(what a shock)!

Must be the same guy that strung a wall hanger up at our local BassPro.

I bought a bear 76er off the big auction site that was actually strung that way when it arrived.  Didn't mind as I got it real cheap and just got it for bow fishing but I can't believe that some people just don't know that's not right.

Its kind of like seeing a person with a spinning rod and reel; holding it upside down and reeling it in backwards..... but this could damage a ~bow~ !

I wonder how you would approach a hunter - with a bow strung that way....?

Brian,
Approach them very carefully !!  :knothead:

I have a friend that tried to draw a recurve that was strung backwards. He almost broke his own nose!

It is funny how little some people know about some thing as simple as a bow and arrow.

From the big red welt on the back of his neck it looks like he's done that a few times before.  Wonder what his face looks like.    :eek:
