It's not what you think. A couple weeks ago, my wife and I were walking the dog. Along the way I saw two recurves sticking out of a garbage can. Being that they were picking up the garbage the next morning, I picked them out of the can and took them home. One is a Bear 76'er, a fiberglass takedown bow. The other is a Montgomery Wards 50# wood laminate bow, made by Bear. We took them to a traditional archery shop to be checked out. The 76'er had a slight twist in the lower limb, which was repaired on the spot. He put a string on it, and my son shot it behind the shop. He's been shooting it almost every day. Likes it better than his compound. The Wards bow also had a slight twist on the lower limb. It will need heated to repair it. It might not be repairable. Either way, I know I have at least one "new" bow to hunt with next season. If my son allows me!

You guys are too much! I got two recurves, one of which was repaired, with new strings. Total investment--$20.00. Now if you don't mind, I'm heading up to Pechins for a little target practice! Any luck and I'll be bringing home some supper!
