anyone interested- kids takedown recurve and machete (im guessing no interest)

[fishfinder401]

  i have a rogim victory take down recurve, i think it says 62 tip to tip, and 24@28, it has VERY slight limb twist in one limb, doesn't effect the performance as far as i can tell, and i has minimal wear( from what i know it had very little use) when i got it it same with a bow case, some sort of sight, it seems all there except for the mounting screws??? and a long thing you screw into the front( i have no clue of its purpose).
i also have a small machete in a case, it doesn't look like it the best quality, but i figured someone might have a use for it, the case also looks pretty cool.
im not sure what people would trade for this so ill take pretty much anything  can use, if it is worth it to someone, i would like some wood though
thanks for looking
noel
PS: i will dig out the things that go with the bow and take some pictures soon

 That Ragim Victory is actually sold as a training bow in weights up to 40#. The long, skinney thing screws into the brass bushing in the riser. It is a stabilizer bar for target shooting. It is a very reliable, bow for someone wanting to get into target shooting. Oh, yea, the site thing is a Berger button to adjust left and right angle on the arrow.

thanks for the info, i would use it myself, but as you can tell its WAY to lite , but when i shot it,it was one of the most accurate bows i had seen

 Welllll, Noel. Tell me what kind and how much wood you are looking for. My Grandson likes the machete.

[fishfinder401]

ill take anything, what kind do you have?

[mullet]

 I have a nice Hackberry stave, a Pacific Dogwood stave that has been drieing since 2004 and naturally reflexed, and an osage sapling that would make a real good "bend in the handle" bow, and a short stave of Hophornbeam.

out of the dogwood and hackberry, which could make the strongest bow and what are their lengths
thanks

 Noel;
 Both would make a good, strong bow. The dogwood will be more of a challenge because of the reflex if you don't have a lot of bow making experiance. the hackberry is ready to shape into a bow. Either piece of wood you don't have to worry about following a growth ring.
The hackberry is 64" and the dogwood is 63.5"

PS: i looked up the machete and apparently it actually really good quality,( didn't expect that), but it makes me feel better about trading for a stave
