Thanks for the picture of the brochure Hink. I'm not sure of the wood but the one I have is just like the one on the left.

Thanks again for all the information Wade and Hink.

bretto, your welcome...can you tell me what the black is on the last 6" or so on the main limbs, tape or paint ? on your bow...Hink..

It is serving thread Hink. Don't see any reason for it to be there Myself. Not ever seeing anything like this before Wasn't sure if it belonged there or not.

From the pic. in Your brochure I see that it has been added on. The Gentleman I got it from is quite the " tinkerer " I also got 3 Bear target bows that are covered with tape residue from all the things he tried over the years. Like sights, clickers and wrist slings mostly all home made.

Do You know the correct string length for the Varabow?

bretto - Just run across the patent information about the Varabow...

Inventor of the Varabow was Jerome M. Van Hecke, from Magnolia, Arkansas. On January 6, 1969, he filed for a patent for his "Archery Bow with Variable Strength Adjusting Means" and on January 5, 1971 was granted a patent.
