Title: Ugly bow contest
Post by: wollelybugger on January 26, 2011, 07:54:00 AM
All I see on here are the pretty bows. Lets see some of the ugly sisters. I know you keep them hidden and only bring them out when nobodys around. Shooting a ugly bow is like riding a moped, fun to shoot but don't want to get caught shooting it.  :scared:

Badger that's a unique string silencer set up there.   Knots every few inches.   This might be hard to beat.   :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

Tice and Watts factory camo.  Looks bad but the bow is a screamer at 55#.

Several folks have told me this one is ugly.  I don't agree with them though!  :)

I don't know Apex.    Maybe I'm unenlightened, but in some cases reverse riser bows have a face only a momma could love.

Apex, I can't find any good reason to agree with those folks. That bow is cool no doubt!

When will they be available???

Heck, all bows are pretty...just some prettier than others.     :cool:  

And so far, I've seen lots of bows prettier than the ones posted.    :D  

BTW, I have a couple candidates for this award, but they're hiding under the bed....or somewhere.   :dunno:

Sorry for posting a bow that isn't mine, but this one, special as it might be, just ain't no purdy to me ^^

 (http://i54.tinypic.com/29zq5hj.jpg)

Lots of those old "radical" bows are weird and unappealing to me  :p  Like the double limbed one!

Apex, I can see what people mean with that bow not being pretty, but strangely it's got some charisma to it!?
Not to found of snakeskin though, but that's just me I guess!

Shoot like a rocket launcher but looks like it got left in the bed of a pickup truck when they sprayed the liner !!!

This bow has seen many a bow come and go from the rack and is still there. Shoots like a dream !!! My infamous bed liner bow  :)

I would say the ugly one is in the last pic in the far upper right   :D
Title: Re: Ugly bow contest
Post by: on January 26, 2011, 06:05:00 PM
That thing in the upper right corner is a portable winch, that cannot be in the competition.  I was going to post my pignut hickory, but in comparison to these it is a refined work of art.

Some of you are spoiled!
I'd love to own some of these "ugly" bows...lol

Post by: Zradix on January 26, 2011, 06:16:00 PM
I don't know if these count.
They are the ugliest I have.
This green one was a real POS that went back to the bowyer.

thanks for fixing my pics.  the bow in the right hand corner is also very dusty right now. havnt shot that thing in a month or 2.  should probably pick it back up to practice for 3d season but when ever i go to shoot i see the recurve sitting there and have to shoot that instead.

I haven't heard of a Lost Creek yet that's shot bad.

Zradix,

That top one in green looks like it could be a real PAIN to shoot. I get the feeling that it would be slow and have a good bit of hand shock?


That reverse riser bow is a weird one to look at, but the woodwork and color is real nice.

It really wasn't a bad shooting bow.
It wasn't tillered correctly and the tip started to delam only 10 shots into my ownership of the new bow.
