Reverse mounted limb ?
« on: June 08, 2014, 12:23:00 PM »
I've come across a painted reverse mount limb bow at a local thrift shop.Like I said its painted,so I don't have a handle on what brand it is. Its tucked away between 2 wall studs of this store. It does'nt  have a Black Widow looking riser ,so my question is what other brands of bows came with limbs mounted on the back side of the riser. Thank you

Browning Wasp take-down, a cheap production bow that shot pretty good. Cost about $125 new.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

there was a guy that used the name Rocky Mt archery--he was out of silver city NM he built a rear limb bow--and it was awesome!--
I'd know it if I saw it--do you have pictures?
he advertised in TBM for a while
 joe skipp used to be a dealer for him-and would likely know his name

If it's painted black with kind of a textured finish I'd bet it's a Browning Wasp. I had one as my first recurve. Mine was a 62" and I shot it pretty well.

I went to look at the bow again today. Its painted beige ,but appears to have some nice wood under it,in the couple of spots where the paint flaked off. It a very long bow ,with with a very long riser. After handling it ,its  pretty heavy and not very well balanced, it felt very awkward in the hand. People wanted $149.00 for it ,but had no idea what make it is. I passed. Thanks for all your help.
