RE: static recurves

Thanks guys. Here it is again with it's twin. The twin is 59" n to n and draws 65# @ 28". The static recurves give the bows a very smooth draw. The twin is the bottom one and is a rocket launcher....

This is a sinew backed reflexed static recurve elm I finished a few weeks ago. It draws 58# @ 28". It launches a 500 grain arrow well over 200 yrds. It's fast and smooth....
