Is your red Wing Hunter an original Bob Lee, an AMF, or a Head Ski model? Is it Bubinga, Rosewood, or shedua?

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead. The rest is just the delivery system.

I'm not really sure this is the first one i've purchased all it says on it is Red Wing Hunter Wing Archery Co. RW #3116 I bought it not knowing what i was going to do with it but it cleaned up nice most of the scratches buffed out the guy just emailed me with a Damon Howatt Coronado 50# at 28" for $54 that someone had bought and never contacted him so i bought it never owned a Damon Howatt maybe you couldtell me something about them I have mostly bought old Bears but its kind of fun to diversifie and try new bows i own two customs but its fun to shoot the old stuff......Armand

Hi--
If your serial number says RW-, it is a 1965-1968 Red Wing Hunter. Bubinga riser. Does it have a gold and green writing sticker on it? If so, she is a early 1965. I could go on and on. It might be better if you tell me excately what is on the bow. Maybe I can help you with the age of it. Thanks

Hi--
Wing archery started in about 1953. Bob Lee has a long history of building good bows. I am lucky enough to own a rosewood Pll takedown. I had it all redone by the one and only, BowDoc, from Seattle. If I knew how to post a few pictures of her, I would.
With the green and gold sticker-I will date her in the year of '65. I have one too. I hope I have answered some of your questions. If you have any more, please feel free.
