Ohio Co. Creates Sarah Palin Hunting Bow

A western Ohio manufacturer has designed a custom-designed hunting bow inspired by Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Lakota Industries Inc. in Xenia has announced its "Sarah-Cuda" bow in honor of the Alaska governor's "lifelong passion for the sport of hunting."

The pink camouflage bow weighs 3.4 pounds and is designed to accommodate female hunters and archers. It retails for $590.

Lakota chief executive Dick Williamson says the bow also pays tribute to women who "bear the responsibility of family and work while strengthening the moral fiber of society."

The company will donate 10 percent of "Sarah-Cuda" proceeds to the National Association for Down Syndrome. The 44 year-old Palin is a mother of five who gave birth earlier this year to a son with the genetic condition.
