You will never believe how that bow looked when I got my hands on it. My dad bought it probably 15yrs ago at a yard sale for like $10 or so and it was spray painted all black, and for years we used it to bowfish for stingrays and it was just thrown in the bottom of a boat. And I got my hands on it 3 yrs ago when I starded shooting traditional again and I cleaned off the black spray paint with some 90% alcohol and that is what I found underneath. It is absolutely beautiful. In fact if I knew who spray painted it I would thank them for saving it. LOL[8D]
