Good use for a broken bow.
« on: February 26, 2011, 11:14:28 pm »
I found a new use for a broken bow. I made a bow rack out of the ERC bow I was working on, after it violently blew up. It will hold my good bows for years to come. I bet its sorry it decided to blow up in my face!!!





This will be a reminder to me of the ups and downs for bow building. I hope you guys enjoy this.

Yeah, that'll teach it, and it will be a lesson to the other bows to behave themselves.
