A bunch of nice old bows
« on: August 29, 2009, 11:52:55 pm »
Now, here are some nice old bows, nice tiller, and notice that all of them have bowyer's knots on the lower limb.  Wish i had one of these old bows, though they probably didn't have much pull.

Notice the placement of the left thumb in the  grip of about half the girls.

Those  were  the  days  when  gals  shot  bows  like  that:)  First time  I  have  seen that  form  with  the raised  bow  hand  thumb

Notice that not all of them have arm guards.   Can't tell about tabs.   And, they are shooting vertical bow.  Overall, great picture of times now gone.
