Hi all,
I hope this isn't in the wrong place, though it does involve building a bow, of a sort. A poster on another list (not me
) was trying to find a cheap, strong (75-100#) long bow to use for strength training. They felt a bow would give better results than an exercise machine, or lifting milk jugs, or what have you. They were also lamenting the difficulty of finding reliable information about the thousands of bows available at online auction sites.
So, the question is this; wouldn't it be possible to build a heavy weight bow that was maybe a terrible shooter, slow, heavy, loads of hand shock, made out of spit and baling wire and who knows what else, never meant to be fired, but by its form would allow for strength training while helping the shooter to work on form and stance?
Or has this already been done?
Just curious.
Frode
