Ozbow

When will the advertising / promotion companies use an archer that can draw a bow.
* Some years back one of the big four banks used a young female drawing a three piece target bow with the limbs bolted on back to front for one of their TV promotions.

The bow doesn't look to be a three piece with the limbs bolted on backwards to me but it is strung backwards and she is drawing it backwards. You would think they would check such things.

Jeff,

It is obvious that the bow shown in the advertisement for Montague High Archery 2023 is a one piece recurve bow braced backwards.

I apologize if my wording was misleading. The takedown recurve refers to the bow that was used in a banks TV commercial some years back.

Wasn't you Daryl, I just read it wrong sorry.

If there advertising an archery company would you really want purchase something from them?

I remember a movie I was watching years ago. It was some sort of survival thing and one of the blokes had a bow. It took me a few minutes to figure it out but it was a recurve strung backwards. I don't remember him actually shooting any arrows. Anyway it suddenly went back to the right way on the next shot. I don't think I watched the entire movie either.

Another one.

I note that the Gladiator series which channel 10 is very heavily advertising every single ad break, shows one of their 'gladiators' with a bow strung backwards. Its cringe worthy to look at.

Commercial T V stations tend to overly promote their garbage shows.
I find local radio stations are a better alternative.
