Vintage Archery equipment find

[buckeyebowhunter]

A friend of mine that i work with found this lot of old equipment at an antique store and knowing that I liked traditional archery grabbed it and gave it to me. There are a bunch of bear razorheads and micro flite arrows and several broad heads and arrows that i am unsure of the maker. There is a fletching jig and what i believe to be a crester. The bow is a Ben Pearson 304. There is a sweet quiver and several gloves. I do not know a lot about most of the equipment or its value. I won't say what he paid for it but maybe you guys can throw out some numbers on value. I plan to keep all of it and maybe even string up the bow and shoot it if it's safe. A lot of history here so I am very pleased that he thought of me and got it for me.

Dang!! That's a great find !! Not to mention a great friend for thinking of you

[Pine]

WOW , that's very neat .

[Charlie Lamb]

The bow is solid fiberglass and will pose no problems as far as shooting is concerned. It may not be quite as sweet as some.

Check it very closely. It should be a take down. 2 pc. handle

The Micro flites are great arrows in my opinion. All of it looks like a great find.

No prices yet....$425...I am new to this so I don't know what things are worth.... If i am right do I get the prize

[crazynate]

Nice stuff. I'd say he paid 125.00 might be worth as much as 300 depending on what broad heads  are in there. Just my guesh

Looks like a arrow crester in there.Wonder if it works..

[buckeyebowhunter]

Charlie, yes it is 2 pieces and was apart in the box when i acquired it. There are some stress cracks running along the limbs but i don't see any major issues with it.

The draw weight of the bow should be etched in the end that fits into the handle.

[buckeyebowhunter]

Got it strung and flung a couple arrows. I'm terrified to draw it clear to my anchor because it feels as though it is stacking horribly. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to how it feels. Maybe it's okay to keep drawing?

[Charlie Lamb]

I still don't think you will hurt that solid fiberglass.

Try drawing to half draw a dozen times, then three quarter draw and finally full draw. If you start hearing noises quit.

[Jon Stewart]

Good find. Maybe $100.00 for the lot.

The quiver is particularly good looking, decidedly old-school.

[buckeyebowhunter]

Grey Goose, I feel the same. I believe the quiver is my favorite piece from the entire lot. A very artistic piece of archery equipment.
