Someone on G+ asked how to rig a recurve bow. I found one [here](http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/56259) originally by [signguy](http://www.blendswap.com/user/signguy). I decided to rig it, based on the CG Masters rig [here](http://www.cgmasters.net/free-tutorials/bow-and-arrow-rigging/). This rig allows the rope to wrap around the bow to avoid clipping.

The blend is not packed, so it is zipped in its own folder with external images. Bow is grouped and ready to link for animation. Rig includes controllers to rotate the bow from each tip. Do not put a subsurf modifier on the string or it won't deform properly.
