Biggest bow in the world
« on: April 12, 2013, 11:25:03 pm »
 :o....It's the largest laminated recurve bow and arrow in the world.  It is in the Comox Valley,BC, Canada , an archer builds a Bunyanesque bow and arrow 70 feet long. I think it was erected in 2009.
Not sure if some of you have seen it or not.?

Wow, being strung up all that time and out in the weather, must be useless by now. What a shame. A guy could have gone satellite hunting with that bow.

Seems like a waste, I wonder how many bows he could have made from that piece of wood you could shoot.

This kinda sparked a thought. Initially, I thought it would shoot an arrow for miles. Now I wonder, with an appropriatly heavy arrow, would it only go the distance a normal bow shoots? Or would its long draw make for a longer shot?
