EEERRRKKK!

[Ian Turner]

Yeah it always concerns me when i see bows advertised on ebay being sold by those who have no idea about bows to possible newbies to the sport who buy something that is totally inappropriate for their needs and or its dangerous.
Even worse they buy compounds that are not set for their draw lengths etc and the bows have been obviously mistreated and are dangerous.
Cheers.

more of a concern, if for sale out here, are they bows that have been "aquisitioned" from an archery club, our of club hours.

[Mick Smith]

Yeah, you see this so many times on ebay. I think many of these bows were used years ago, probably by people who have since passed away and the current owners who have inherited them, have no idea of how they're meant to look when strung. I doubt whether this would damage the bow, particularly if it wasn't drawn and it probably wouldn't be possible to draw the bow anyway as the string would be pulled off.

I sent a request asking about the Bow.
The picture was with the request, but dropped out here, so this is what followed.

Dear ***************,

I see in the picture, that the string is on the Bow, is that the way it is strung when it is shot.
