i'm asked all the time why i have so many bows...my first response is because i just love recurve bows,especially the ones from my years when i first seen one in a cabelas catalog...or some catalog...i first bought one in 1964,a shakespeare neceda...for 39$...i've recently bought a few necedas for over 100$ thats over 45 yrs.old:yikes:...and shoot nicely and still look like new...back in the 60s i ordered every bow manufacturers catalog there was...and there was soooo many bows in there that made me drool...i guess today i see it as a last chance to get that bow...back then i'd never have thought i'd be able to get those bows 45+yrs.later...i still feel that way when i see them as i did back then...but sometimes i must make a choice between bows,and a guy asked me yesterday why i picked a certain bow after i had chosen 3 i was interested in...why did i pick them three out of a hundred...my answer was they were in xcellent codition...but the one i finally picked...:mischeif:well heres why...
back then i had a thing for shorties...finally getting a 52"bear kodiak mag...around 1968...but the one i really drooled over was this lil 50"browning cobra...and yesterday was a chance to buy it...and its in xcellent cond...and still for about the price it was back in approx.1970...its just a beautiful bow as brownings were...
