... and bring home someone else's trash.
It was just laying there among the trash. When I emptied out my trailer, I tossed it in, figuring it had a busted limb, or something. It was wrapped from top to bottom in camo duct tape.
So I brought it home, stripped the tape off, and gave it a hard look. It was in fair condition. So I cleaned off all the goo from the tape with mineral spirits, and goof off for the heavier stuff. Filled the holes in the riser. Let it dry over night, and oiled the wood with tung oil.
I have no idea who made it. Or what weight draw it has. Feels like #50 or so. If you look at the second picture you can see where the manufacture's logo was. If anyone knows the make, please chime in.
I figure I need to get it restrung and get the cams timed. I don't know if I want to put new sights on it yet. Shooting instinctively from 15 yards, my arrow almost sailed over the target.
But not bad, eh? It pays to keep your eyes open at the dump .
