Title: Groves Flame Hunter Recurve
Post by: michigan bill on April 21, 2009, 11:17:00 AM

I just became the proud owner of a 56" 54# Groves Flame Hunter recurve.  What a great shooting bow it is!
I've googled and googled and cannot find any info on this particular Groves bow, although I learned a lot about Mr. Harold Groves and his famous Spitfire Recurve - several times a world record holder in Flight Archery.
The Flame Hunter model seems to be an early 1970's bow but that's all I know about it.
Anyone know anything about the Groves Flame Hunter?  Thanks.

Bill,

Talk to Jim Shannon. He once worked for Harold Grove. He could probably tell you something, but be careful or he will talk you out of that Flame Hunter. A good Groves is very much sought after and you've got yourself a jewel.
