This is a different bow!
« on: July 09, 2008, 01:16:00 PM »
I haven't seen one these before. It doesn't appear to be too old as the window is cut for an overdraw very similar to Groves. Interestedly both are from N.M.
Notice the limbs are laminated directly to the metal riser.
Anybody know more about this bow? I am interested in the bow  from a history viewpoint-not looking to buy as I am a leftie shooter now.

Well, a couple of negatives.
1.  It is offerd by aigplastic.  THis means the bow will go  (if sold) for morethan it is worth.

2.  It appears to me a metal riser with limbs glued on, not a take down.  This would concern me.

3.  Never heard of it.

Jack,, How can it be worth less than it sells for.. We all know they are worth what they bring..Doesn't make any difference what the seller does, it's the buyer that sets the market...

I bought a 70" 1960 Kodaik Special from aigplastic a couple months ago for a $249.99 buy it now price. It is the first bow with that dna that I have ever seen on e8ay and only the second one of that length found in known collections (that I know about anyways) . I think the bow was under valued and the seller did not know what he had!

Since I posted this I talked to a friend that has one of these bows. His is a longer length, and he shot it in competition. It dates to 60/70s. He said they shoot real well. I would really like to know more about how the limbs were joined to the riser

Looks like the limbs were glued on like a regular wooden riser bow. This may be okay, I don't know. Looks like a pretty cool bow. Too bad that Aigplastic guy has it, he just runs the prices up on stuff.
