To be honest, I forget the name they were manufactured under. The Adirondack Bat Factory in Dolgeville NY, made recurve bows back in the early seventies.
They've made a lot of stuff besides baseball bats over the years, but I'll always remember staring in awe, at the racks of bows.
I don't know if some of them were as nice as I thought they were at the time my Dad worked there, but they sure looked it to me.
My first "real" bow was made there. Not one of the fancy models, but when I shot it, I felt like Art Young, Saxton Pope and Howard hill, all rolled into one, and I killed my first rabbit with it when I was 9, or 10 years old.
When I got together with my Girlfriend, I gave it to her son, hoping he'd get into archery. He shoots it once in a great while, and likes to tell people the history behind it, but that's about the extent of his interest. The Grandkids are a different story. The first thing they want to do when they get here, is shoot.
Anyway, I was thinking about old times, and I just wondered if any of you remember these bows? I'm thinking some of the more local people may. Thanks.
