Wing Little Wing
« on: April 05, 2009, 12:29:00 PM »
A very generous friend passed this on to me for one of my boys to shoot. I did a litle searching and even pushed my luck and searched the virus infected Archery Archives and came up with nada.
  It's a AMF Wing, 20# @ 24" with a penned in serial #2553 with brown glass back/belly. It has the same look to the riser as those action wood Bears. Lots of light and dark areas but its done in a nice chocolate brown color. Haven't seen them before, even on e-bay.
  What year did they start making them and what year/model is this one ?
                             Thanx, Shep

Don, he appears to be "walking" the riser, also!

The Little Wing, Little Bear and Darton made one as well all in the same time period. All nice little kids bows. Pearson made one also in the same years.
