30 bucks + a bit of elbow grease =....
« on: January 03, 2013, 07:01:00 PM »
A 64" 48 @ 28 bow thats ready to hunt! I picked this old bow up a little while back and finally got around to refinishing it, dont know the maker but i highlighted the 48 stamped into the riser which is the only marking on the bow.
Just goes to show that there are still a few great shooting old bargain bows out there that just need a little TLC.

Thanks Ceb, Im not sure of the yr. but im guessing 60's, but one thing I am sure of, is that the heavily reflexed limbs on this old longbow sure will spit a shaft!   :bigsmyl:

Cool!  That looks like a very nice shooting bow there!  You could easily hunt that bow and for $30!  Great job!

Well done!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.
