You might want to find out.  There's a big difference between them.  As far as I know, the Asbell Bighorns don't have that kind of serial number.

Went over to **** and looked at it for you.  It is an Indian Archery bow, probably from the late 60's or early 70's.  They were a good entry level bow for the time.  The holes in the riser were for a sight.  Not a bad bow, depending what you are going to use it for.  It's value is kinda up to you.  Myself, I'd file a radius on the shelf and use it to shoot fish.

SD, I own three bighorns an Asbell and two post Asbell and none have that numbering. The newest was purchased 6 mo ago so unless they changed the # system recently it is not the Bighorn that I know. Indian Archery possibly?
