flea market finds!!!!! (PIC HEAVY)
« on: April 19, 2014, 09:38:00 PM »
Hey guys I wanted to show off my latest finds. I think I did pretty good. First thing I found was a old box of fred bear wooden arrows. there was a complete pack of 6.It even came with an original bear arm guard. I loved the look of the box which is why I bought them. I figured for $10 I couldnt go wrong.      

Next up was the deal I was really excited about. I saw it on the table and the guy wanted $100 for it. Well I was able to talk him down to $80. It is a beautiful bow. It is a bit heavy for me at 70#@28 but I am quickly being able to shoot it better and better each time i shoot it.
 Does anyone know anything about this bow? There is no name on it but there is a model number.
   

also I wanted to know if this bow could handle a FF string? the tips look like they have a strip of reinforcement through the center of them. Does that make it FF compatible or not?      
thank you in advance for anyone who knows anything about this bow. Thanks, SS

A decided "I wouldn't risk it" with the FF.

I'd be nervous since there is no tip overlay.

Even some bows with overlays shoudln't be shot with FF.

I have a couple vintage bows that the maple/walnut tip overlays were chewed through with a FF string. I replaced them with phenolic overlays and life is good.

I woudn't mess with this one.
