Not sure DC I've never tried it but some guys swear by it. I'm thinking whoever had this one used it for decoy. It had two small eye bolts one on each side of its mouth and fishing line running through them. Very few arrow holes.

I went to an estate auction tonight and brought home a couple of bows and some quivers.  The bows are a LeClair Shrew and a Harry Elburg Cherokee Mite.  I was very happy to get them.  I can't wait to test them out tomorrow.  Both look to be in really good condition.  Besides some wear on the shelf they look pristine.  The quivers are Selway.

I can't help it Pat.  These bows looked sad and lonely.  I figured I could give them a good home.

Clint you've taken in a lot of stuff over the years. Given a lot of good homes to the lonely and forgotten. You've got a real nack for it.

Those bows are sweet and from what I gathered highly sought-after after, quivers look nice too

I made a quick stop at my favorite junk store and a few things followed me home.  I only spent $14 on all of it.






I think this was the best purchase.

I stopped at a yard sale today and the guy made me a package deal on all of this rusted junk.  One of these days I'm going to start putting handles on some of these.

Some day your estate sale will be the talk of the county.
