Not one of the big mfgrs, but they made very good bows.  Proline fell into the compound craze for a while and then disappeared.  It looks in the pic to be braced a bit high, should be around 8 to 8 1/2 inches.  Looks to be a great find.  It's nice to have someone looking out for you.    :thumbsup:

My buddy had a Pro-line compound in the 1980's, I assume it's the same company.
Great deal!

I grew up about 8 miles from Pro Line and shot a few of their bows over the years.  I can't recall when they went out, but it seems like maybe they went out about 10 years ago, but I don't remember because I stopped shooting them and moved out of the area.  I know they were still around in the mid 90's.

Most cool John. 30 years ago bought my first heavy longbow a 68" 75#@28" Proline Saxon. Nearly sold it once but couldn't. It's taken more animals than all my Hills combined and it still shoots darts. Great Find!!
