That looks like an awful short brace height...WRIST SLAPPER!!

I don't know about the model, but American made some decent solid shooters.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

The Young American was American Archery's youth bow. I don't have the years of manufacture available, though. CKruse

Hey I can see the picture now.  Thanks Kurt.

Nice bow, not square and blocky at all.

Advertised in 1977 as a beginner bow or for camps and schools and sold for 39.95 at that time. From the 1977 issue of Archers Digest.
