A lot of the Shakespeare line was actually made by bowyer Ernie Root. Most had a name, plus the number designation. I have a very pretty one that is "Pecos X-23". I know for a while they were named after different hunting areas or forests. Pretty nice old bows that probably don't get the credit they deserve. CKruse

My X-30 is the Super Necedah with some killer zebrawood. Even with their "oversized" grip, I still like the way they perform.

I awlays thaouth that Ernie Root had his own bow company that was tlater bought out by root.  After that they were called "Root by Shakespeare".

Not saying that I am right and Cameron is wrong...just what I alwasy thought.

I have been known to be wrong once in a while...and Cameron has know to be right...once in a while.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

Ernie Root did have his own company. He then built for Shakespeare, and eventually sold Root to Shakespeare around 1967. I believe he stayed on for a while as their lead bowyer. I once thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken!    :p   CKruse
