Red wing hunter
« on: February 03, 2009, 05:23:00 PM »
I found a red wing hunter by wing archery for sale and was wondering the value I think it is a good deal. I was just wondering if these are very collectible or not? The serial #RW14840 58" 46# and it has brown glass in good condition I just don't know much about these.

Yes, they are great bows and that one is pre-Head Ski, my guess is late 1966 because of the 5 digit serial number and should have a Bubinga(kind of reddish) handle. Have seen them go anywhere from $75-150.00 depending upon condition.

I believe they were also available in 52 inch.

The 52" version was not available till later, 1968 when Head Ski owned Wing Archery.
