Finishing touches on this bow now. Maybe I can get pics up asap? Never done from my phone however.

Plan was to sell this bow & put money towards a heavier used lh BW. But, I shoot rh & have plenty of potl longbows already. Plus, just couldn't pull the trigger on even the least expensive lh BW I found.

So, corresponded w/nice fellow trying to help a kid out. Unfortunately, little girl''s dad nixed all but compounds. Yeah, I booed too. Leaves me with this nice 3 piece td recurve made by Martin. Does not have a string, but, I made a piecemeal string to check draw weight which came out to 30#@26". Maybe one of you string makers can assist? Thanks for your effort if you do.

I like the looks & feel of this bow. The limbs are straight & flex well. Really a dynamic looker great for a kid in need. Not sure how I'll do this but I want it to fit d a good home? Maybe we can draw for it? Just have too see how I feel about respondees? Something gets my heart, hope you guys will give me authority to pull the string on the deal? Otherwise, I'd like to ship it asap likely Monday at latest. Still need to complete Spar varnish & polish (might add a # or 2?). Just respond to this thread & I'll clear further details pdq. Bow & ship are free to good home. I'm not a string maker but will pay for it if need be? 50" written on limb as is draw of 25#@26". Draw is more according to my luggage scale averaged after 3 pulls yesterday.

Need anything else just ask. BTW, just remembered I'll throw in a grey Stetson size small. Cool hat but plenty of worm holes. It's clean though.

Best luck.

My son had one of those and regretted trading it. And i regret letting him. I would love to have it, he turns 13 next week.

Kind of expected a larger turnout? Just to be clear, this nice 3- piece td recurve is free to a good home. Hope it find the new owner pdq maybe by Saturday night? So far, KY Phil is wayyyyyy in the lead.

Just leave your name below to enter. I am not expecting to be compensated one bit. Just want a needy kid to get a great bow. Believe i already have a string maker too? Thanks, b

Love to throw my name in for my Daughter. I got her started about 6 months ago with a take down recurve. One of the cheapies but she really loves it. We were shooting in a 3D league at an indoor range and within about 3 weeks she was giving me a run for the money. She's small stature and draws about 26" so it would be perfect. Would have entered earlier but just now saw thread. Thanks for the opportunity. Randy
