Title: Na-Po Bows
Post by: Charles Chase on May 20, 2013, 06:14:00 PM

I have a Na-Po bow purchased in 1959. Hal Nash and Bob Poppe were the proprietors of Na-Po Bowyers. Anyone out there have one?

Since you mentioned the long risers, how did they affect the shooting?  I like those types of bows and I'm curious on why they moved away from them.

My bow was made by Hal NAsh and Bob POppe . . hence the "Na-Po". Bought it in Portland, and I think Na-Po was located there at the time.
