Rod, you did a good job on the recurve. At 56" n t n it should be a comfortable bow to carry through the scrub.

I quite like the longbow style riser and when shooting two different styles of bows having similar grip areas makes sense.

How much recurve did you put in the limbs?

Rod,

No need for measurements just a side on photo of the unbraced bow would be fine.

I really love that 'curve mate ... the "50's" style curves with the slim longbow type riser are the bee knees .....

Well done on the stinka old fella!! You see many pigs out that way??? I have a few work mates that hunt that way often and always bag some good rough fellas and normally hard fighting fellas coming off the crop.

Challacombe St haha I remeber seeing that think the old fella lined us up as kids to get a photo in front it and im sure I got a photo with Steve and Sue Wallace on a way wood west trip once.

Hunting on you own bud?? You better give me a call next run so i can come dust the webs off the wheely bow!!

Good to see your cooking skills are still limited! :lol:


Cheers

Hi Rod,

Thank you for the photo of the bow.

I particularly like the way the limbs flow into the handle, well done.

I don't know about that Jeff. She never actually said "NO", so if I were Nutgrass I'd be encouraged to declare the issue still open to negotiation! :wink: :lol:

I agree, I think the catching of the mug signals an option for discussion at a later date :wink:
I just think my later & her later might be further apart than I realize :roll:
