Identify this old girl ??
« on: September 13, 2016, 06:42:00 PM »
A workmate of my son's gave him this old recurve, would anyone know exactly what it is ? seems a pretty sweet old shooter in the mid 30lbs with no stacking at a longer draw length.

Almost has drake influence. Is there numbers stamped on the other side of the riser?

Just from the color , I would guess that it is an Indian Archery .
Possibly a Shakespeare Wonder Bow .
The sticker on the limb really lean's toward Indian .

Indian was my first guess. I've owned several and they are usually way under-priced for the quality.

69" Matt Meacham LH 42@28
66" Swift Wing LH 35@28
54" Java Man Elk Heart LH 43@28
62"/58" RER LXR LH 44/40@28

Can't pinpoint the brand. But to me it's clearly a 61-63 bear Kodak special replica design. Likely from a lesser manufacturer of the time. Probably mid 1960's

Thanks Gents....it's a surprisingly smooth bow, time for it to get some limb socks and get out there.

The sticker looks more like Root than Indian to me.
