Varabow?
« on: October 29, 2011, 03:52:04 pm »
Hi
I've been studying the history of the Penobscot bow and found this Varabow ad from the '50's, att..
I want to buy one and hope someone on here knows of one or owns one?

BTW the Penobscot bow is a bow, but it appears the original was a made up one in 1901

I dont have one but they sure look interesting.. It looks like a rubber powered bow! That is cool, and it would make a fun project... Just get some theraband gold and your golden...  ;D ;D ;D Good luck finding one.

This newest issue of Primitive Archer, Volume 19, Issue 6 has a photograph on page 39 of Tom Baldwin from the Traditional Bowyers of Washington holding one of these wacky bows!
