Do y'all see these things often down there

I recently bought a bow at an estate sale.
It's one of these.

Can anybody tell me anymore about this bow? Is it too traditional to hunt with?

Any pics of the actual bow you bought?

Yes, but bows seem a little bit difficult to photograph. Sticks are even harder. I added the kid for perspective. Here's 2 pictures. I made a string from 30lb test braided fishing line. It feels at least equal to the 70 lb. initial pull on my Browning compound.

I have seen a couple of these style of bows in second hand dealers here in Adelaide. I would have bought them BUT both had stress fractures in them and would only have been good for hanging on the wall which I didn't want them for decoration but rather to use. So the search continues.
