Why Horsebows?

#1 Post by Axe » Thu Jun 21, 2007 6:11 pm

Seems Horsebows are all the rage, I've owned a couple in the past, here's a few pics of what I reckon they are meant for

Beautiful bows Axe. I noticed that they all worked :lol: .
But it sounds like they have moved on? any reason? and what are you using now. I have seen the Widow in your other posts.
Anyway thanks for sharing.
Cheers

They work fine by the looks of that but I still think they are ugly! :D

I don't think that it is so much that "Horsebows" are all the rage but rather they are a lot easier to get in Oz than they were a few years ago. Plus like many things the price has come down to someting reasonable. From when I decided i wanted one to when I spent the money to by one in my case was a fair few years.

Add to that forums like this where people are just sharing/talking. That alone just raises the profile.

No particular reason Poppy, enjoyed my time with them, time to move the on & just had too many bows :)

Having said that the number seems to have increased again :oops: I'm using Widows, Bear and waiting for a Thunder Stick L/B
