Title: Unfamiliar longbow
Post by: mahantango on January 31, 2017, 04:00:00 PM

Came across a longbow in an antique shop that I'm looking for some info on. It's a Hill style, backset, probably 68". No specs, the only markings are " Old Timer" and "Setting Sun" in gold letters on water transfer decals. Leather grip and leather arrowhead shaped strike plate. Something about this name rings a bell but I can't put my finger on it. Anyone know what I'm looking at?

Jim Brakenbury made an old timer longbow in the 1990's
