Anyone know anything about this bow??

[Haldir]

I have a bow that I inherited from my dad.  It is made by Colt, LH model "Pioneer", 62" #47 @28". I would love to shoot the bow myself, but I am right handed.  The bow is in decent shape with a few scratches.  It is at least 25 years old, as best as I can remember.

Does anyone know anything about this bow??  I am thinking of trading it in at my local archery shop for another recurve, but I don't know what a fair trade value would be, or a selling price if I were to sell it.

What would be a fair price to sell it for??

Thanks in Advance

I really don't know a lot about the Colt bow, - I just got to shoot one about 2 years ago that belonged to a friends uncle and it was older than 25 years, I believe.

Have you tried a Google search about Colt bows. There are also some archery history websites that you could try.

Actually probably the best and quickest way to find a average cost is to search Ebay.  

Seems as if lately Ebay has gotten a little overwhelming for finding stuff on the site there, but just persist, you'll find something sooner than later.

Hope this helped

Sell your Dad's bow ?? Trust me on this- in a few years you will wish you had it back. So what if you can't shoot it. Hang it up and admire. That bow is a prt of YOUR history.
