Can anyone give me some info on this long bow?
« on: September 19, 2009, 11:56:00 PM »
I recently picked up this long bow for a pretty reasonable price. The seller didn't have any info for it besides what is written on the side of it. I've tried a Google search for F.S.T. but no luck. It shoots good and will likely be a keeper. It appears to me to be glassed. Any other input? Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, I know I need to clean that counter off.   :)  

Thanks in advance.

By the number #007, it may be his 7th bow. Looks like a nice bow to me also.

By the number 007, you have the license to kill.

Honestly, I can't believe I didn't catch that. I figured like the poster above that it was just the maker's 7th bow.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Unbraced profile?

Straight limbed or a little reflex?

A little reflex.

To the other posters, I think it's a little "t", not an "I". Maybe "For Shooting Traditionally."

I also guessed it was someone's 7'th bow but I LOVE the "license to kill" line.  Possibly someone who just got started and didn't yet have a "name" for their bows so just put their initials on it?  Might be something from a Bingham kit?  Looks good though and the weight is about perfect.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.
