Title: Need a Hoyt Expert
Post by: ToddinBR on September 14, 2003, 07:36:00 PM

I have a Hoyt Longbow I am trying to get info on.
Itis a R/D longbow on the side it reads 66 5826 39#.
66 being length, 39# weigth, and I assume 5826 is a serial number?  On the belly above the rest is the Hoyt sticker with the Bullseye for the letter O. Below that is another sticker but is worn and hard to read. I believe it says "CHARY II", but I cant be certain. Black Fiberglass on back, and Red fiberglass on the belly, with a light colored wood riser. The bow has a wrapped leathewr handle on it.
I hope I have gave enough info to Identify this bow. I would really like to find out when it was built, were the alot of these made, if they made this bow in a hunting weight, and where can I get one in a hunting weight.

Thanks In advance,

Todd in BR

It is probably a champ II. Was built in the early 50s and were made in hunting weights I have a left hand one that shoots great. 50# @ 28" that was built in 1953  :wavey:

Thanks Jerry! After looking at it again I believe your right. Now I have to find a right handed one.
