Not staked through the heart or anything

Finally got around  to stringing and test-drawing the recurve bow I got on ebay a while back.  It's mid-1970s (a Marksman TS4, apparently designed for the UK Olympic squad and everything) and a wood-and-fibreglass laminate so there's plenty of layers to fail and stuff to crack, go brittle with age or delaminate.  It's only a couple of years younger than I am.
