Is it safe

[B-Fuller85]

I have a 1960'S all fiberglass Bear Gray Fox. I'd
like to let my daughter shot it, she's ready for a
bigger bow. Is it safe? Thanks, Brice

So long as there are no cracks those bows shoot forever.

My Green Fox is still going strong! (As strong as 25# will get...!)

My first "real" bow was a "Red Bear"

I made my first "traditional" kill with that bow.....

Old Mister Gray Squirrel started to scamper up an oak tree.....I pulled a store bought Bear cedar arrow(spine unknown)tipped with a green Bear Razorhead out of my back quiver.....drew back and let'er go!!!!!

Pinned him right to that oak tree!!!!!

Ahhhhh, The Memories.....

"Is it safe?"

Isn't that what Lawrence Olivier kept repeating to Dustin Hoffman in 'Marathon Man' before he commenced to giving him some free dental work?  

Sorry for the sidetrack, I couldn't help myself.  

I wish I still had my "Blue Bear" and "Red Bear" bows, but atleast I still have my Herter's Model Perfect Sambar (or Sitka) Junior.  I can never remember which and I'm at work.  Good memories, especially of my first kill (a robin I had to hide from Dad) and first big game (a raccoon I bounced an arrow off him, right between the eyes).  I also remember using the Red Bear with arrows with a corn cob on the ends, and shooting our sheep in the pasture.  Dad caught me and I got a beating for that one.  Where was Dennis Kamstra when I needed him.     Ha.

Great stories guys. These old bows are a piece of our history, and started the fire within for many of today's archers. That's why I want to hand this one down to my daughter, and someday she will have stories of her own. Thanks again everyone
