Default RE: Cheap, smooth recurve?????

Bow update...... Well I went from looking for a recurve to see what all the fuss was about to owning 2.

Was talking to a guy that had a Gharing, static recurve 60" , 46# @ 28" or 54# @ 30" (my draw) Bubinga riser bamboo limbs. A nice bow for what I wanted. Well I got it Friday. Had the wrong string so I happened to have a string and set it up to shoot Saturday. I was shooting in the backyard as that big yellow thing in the sky was actually visible Got a fire call. I' m a volunteer fireman. Set the bow down and went off to the call. My wife, not thinking let the 3 labs out into the yard. I got home in about 15 minutes (false alarm) and what do I see my female lab chewing on the bow like chew toy. About 24 to 30 teeth marks, and ruined the string. I spent an hour with somw fine steel wool to knock down the teeth marks. Lucky for the dog the bow still shoots. My wife said that she' s never seen me so mad and snuck out of the house and went to her mom' s. Lucky the boys were at friends. Troy you almost could have had a free lab. Then while I was working on the bow a friend called who has been trying to sell me his Sovereign Ballistik for about 3 months. I told him he wanted too much and it was a recurve He called and said he wanted to trade his bow for a rod and reel I had. Well got the Ballistik for a rod and reel I didn' t need (paid $75) and $50. So I' m out to the backyard this morning, no dogs! I' ll tell you how they shoot later.
