Title: "old school" GN bows
Post by: joe vt on June 25, 2010, 01:03:00 PM

Anyone check out GN's "Old School" look bows? I saw their ad on the back cover of the latest TBH mag.


I really like the looks of that retro green glass.    :)

Saw some of the green glass GN bows at the K-Zoo show this year. I really like them.

Yeah that glass does add a touch of class!!  Steve from Norther Mist had some on one of his bows this past weekend at Compton.

I want a GN Traditional longbow in that green glass. Might need to sell something here in the near future!   :biglaugh:

A good friend has a Bush bow that's "Old School", green glass and green riser. It's  now one of his favorites. Reminds me of some of the old Bears.....nice!

Steve from Northern Mist had a green glass LB at Baltimore, this year. The green glass adds a touch more class to a classic looking LB.

That green glass is definitely "old School".  I didn't go green glass, but had my Griffin made with a black glass back and brown glass belly to give it that same "old School" feel.

I saw the recurve pic on the mag and thought of a Bear Kodiak/Grizzly.Would love to have one of those.

I think brown glass and a low gloss finish make for a bow that has a classy understated elegance.

Joe, you're so old, any bow you shoot is "retro" by association!   :smileystooges:

I had the first GN super ghost made with the green glass. It had hickory veneers from the gn land also.
GREAT looking bow.
I did not give it a chance and sold it to soon.

I love the looks of the GN green glass bows, but the last thing I need is a new bow....That said, I hope GN and I both make it to Denton so I can shoot one.  For some reason I decided not to do so at Kalamazoo, and I didn't make Comptons.

I like the green glass!

I've always liked the brown and black glass, but never cared for the green. I guess it just reminds me too much of the 70s era Bear bows.
