Title: Ever had a bow you forgot about
Post by: RC on July 23, 2010, 11:06:00 AM
I was digging through some of my junk in "my" room and found a bow I`ve had probably 10 years.I got it for boot in a horse trade of some sort.It looks in decent shape . I think I`m gonna find a string and try to shoot something with it.RC

I don't think I would forget a beauty like that!  If you want to forget it again just send it my way.

Nice bow.

Nah, I only have one. The other one in the basement belongs to my brother-in-law. The kids have a few bows sitting around as well, but they are small with light poundage.

Wish I had enough bows to forget about! Now if you want to talk broadheads.......

Duh, I forgot about it so completely I misnamed it above. It is a Sky Target Recurve with two sets of limbs. Sheesh....wing and sky...I guess the words go together in my aging mind.

I just got back some bows I assumed I had lost in a barn fire last year- but that had been stolen from me previous to the fire. So - yes - I had let them slip from my consciousness.  and lol - one was a Kodiak - a much newer one - but a Kodiak.

About a year ago, my wife and I were converting a bedroom to a nursery for grandkids(Where did all these babies come from?) and we found about a dozen bows under the bed.

I actually had two, one was a 48" pony bow sinew backed with the tips kicked out and the other was the "plumb Limb" bow given to me by Tim Baker.

I was looking for something one day and stumbled across them.They had been put away since 1999.

I sent the sinew backed bow to JeffB from New Zealand. I won't part with the limb bow.

God bless,Mudd

PS: I'm glad you found your treasure RC.
