old bow
« on: April 02, 2018, 02:22:24 PM »
I picked up an old bow a while back and because my right leg isn't doing good. So with nothing to do but set with leg elevated I cleaned it up and tried to shoot it. It only 39# at 28" and shoots well. Its an old lemon wood long bow with some red backing. Does anyone know what the backing is

Compressed paper or fiber board.  Is it a York?

The York lemonwood ELB I have has a "YORK" decal on it. I'm not familiar with the marking style on your bow.
 Looks like 68", 38#@28"  The "M" is possibly for male but I'm not sure.

I have a copy of an old York catalog that a guy at York sent me but I can't find it. When I do I'll see if it says anything about those figures.

The red backing appears to be some sort of tank....  :laugh:
