Gringa Recurve (Open with caution, sexy bow inside)

#1 Post by Nutgrass » Fri Sep 28, 2012 9:47 pm

Well the Big Fella has done it again. This one is extra special to me ! A huge thanks to Rod for this bow, I will hold this one close to me forever !

The 2nd Gringa Recurve has been cut loose. 56"ntn, 54# @ 28". Babinga (Spelling) in the handle & the overlays. Black glass with Caramelised bamboo core.

It shoots very sweet & looks sexy as hell !
I will get some better pics over he weekend, but just wanted to share this bow with you all.

So that's what you meant this arvo? I thought you meant you were shooting Rods recurve. It's a beauty Gidge! 'Spose you'll be wantin' to offload "Mistress" now...after all mate, how many bows can ya shoot at once? :razz:
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Rod that is a beauty.

I really love these simple 50's style recurves. Very Nice.

Sofar I have seen some descriptions mentioning the shooting qualities as "Sweet" and "Smooth". If the word "Forgiving" is used it could turn into a bar room brawl! :razz: :lol:

Very nice
