Wendake bow question
Aaron1726:
Ok, this may be a crazy question, but I came across this bow from the lorette reservation while searching for something else. I've never seen a reverse recurve like this. And holes in the limbs? Why build a bow this way? Just for looks and a ceremonial bow? Or could there be some performance advantage? Just seems wild, if nothing else, something to ponder.

Little John:
pretty fancy bow.

Looks like those would be working recurves! Pretty extreme if it can be strung and shot.
Del the cat:
Just bonkers... dunno how it's supposed to work with that string.
Can't imagine how the string would stay on if it was strung and shot as a conventional recurve. Unless those holes wer for some sort of sting bridge?
NA equivalent of an April fools joke? >:D
