Any idea what kind of bow this is? I have had this bow for a long time and never shot it. I finally strung it up and am planning on shooting when the weather participants. Got me curious. Thanks

It's in great shape. I think I have gotten bored with hunting with my compound. I'm going back to traditional. I actually just got a new recurve from ebay yesterday! I am pretty excited to get back into trad.

That's what I was thinking.

I think I've figured it out. I thought the writing was someone's name. So for the life of me I couldn't make it out. But it looks like it is a Viper Internature. Not the greatest opinions online but I think I'll still play around with it. I got it for free which happens to be my favorite price!

I want to say it was sold by cabelas a few years back. Not a bad bow.

Thanks for all the replies. This was actually my first ever post. I've been a long time reader though.

Yep looks like a Viper longbow, I had one many moons ago, like 15 years. Shot okay the writing on mine wasn't as fancy as yours!

Yea that writing made it hard for me to figure it out..

My uncle got me into trad back in 2012 when I was at Beale Air Force base for training. He just happened to a contractor that worked there. He gave me my first recurve. A really nice 52 inch Bear. I still shoot that thing quite a bit. I just bought a 62 inch Wing Falcon to play around with. The Wing is pretty cool because I didnt find alot of info on it. I'm hoping to get a deer this year with trad gear!

Thank you. I read that. I went looking online for what people had to say about it and I really didnt find much. There was some stuff but not much. I figured for $50 I'll just have to form my own opinion. Thanks again for the catalog.

Pretty sure it's an Internature Viper made in China. I believe that model is the DLX or "Deluxe" they have a couple different color combinations and were also sold under other names. (PSE Sequoia was very similar, not sure if it was the same bow) I had one, they are a fair bow. Shoot pretty good, but did have some hand shock I couldn't get to go away.

A Google search for "Internature Viper LongBow" should provide a lot of info for you.
