Have seen a couple of these around here and one gentleman seems to remember them being made by an Ed Yukima (sp?) located in the Dormont/ Mt Lebanon area near Pittsburgh.  They seem to have been a locally popular target bow in the late 50's early 60's.  The two I have seen are 70 inch semi-recurves, but was told he also made long-risered "horned" recurves later.

These bows have piqued my curiosity and I was wondering could anyone here provide any more info on these bows and/or bowmaker.
