lpcjon2, Vintage ? I guess it's all relative to your age. I see you were born in 1969. I bought my first recuvre [Browning Nomad] in 1968. Maybe that makes me vintage...lol!!! Oh yea the Nomad....was 37$ brand new.

My wife shot this with the first arrow she ever let fly at an animal. It is a 19?? Bear Panda. Orange glass on the belly and tan on the back.

I killed this doe 2 years ago with a buddy's early '70s AMF Wing Archery Swift Wing. It's 48 lbs. & she dropped on the spot after a spine shot (once in a great while the luck I get is good).

This is a buck I shot this past season with my 1968 Howatt Monterey. I used it all season and shot 3 more does with it as well. A lot of MoJo in that old bow and one sweet shooter. 62" and 49#@28".

How about a 1960 +or- Howatt Hunter I used (unsuccessfully) last season. Might give it a run at elk this year as well as mule deer.

I have 50# 1973 Super Kodiak that will see some woods time this year. I have some really nice bows on the rack, but this thing impresses me every time I shoot it. I shoot the old olive colored Gamegetters in 1916 with green Bear Razorheads.

That Browning Cobra is one sweet looking bow! Nice job on the turkey!

I know this is an older thread, but it is a cool thread and I needed to share. This buck fell to my 55lb Super Kodiak. The bow and I are both 1969 models. Real special deer.

Here is a picture of Brent Bassi and his BQII bear. He was using a 1969 (I think) Grizzly, Bear arrows with Razorheads and an old Bear quiver.
