Title: Need help ID'ing this bow, determining if it's shootable.
Post by: bentleybuilds on October 08, 2024, 12:56:37 PM

Hoping for some help Id'ing this bow. My first recurve was just deemed unsafe to continue shooting and looking at this as a replacement. Hoping to take it by a shop to have looked at, but also thought the eyes here could have some insights.

Thank you!

Small update:

I went ahead and bought it. Local shop helped look it over. Did some smaller draws and checked limbs for twisting. They currently making a string for the slight longer limbs that I'll use the most. One guy thinks it's a Samick, but not 100%. When I get it back with a string on it, I'll post more pictures.

Sam Wha/Greenkat/Wha Gok .... SamIck .... usually well made, value for money, competent performers.
Exported from Korean as both own labels & white label, rebranded by many retailers across Europe (& most probably US too)

From '83 so long in the tooth, but should be fine.
