Smithwick Question
« on: September 13, 2009, 08:26:00 PM »
Hey guys. I have been a lurker here for a bit and finally decided to join. Been shooting both trad and compounds since I was 8 and love it.

My question is this. I was cleaning out my mothers storage unit and came across 2 bows that I forgot I had and I would like to have some info on them.

Smithwick Deluxe
and
Wing Archery Nighthawk (left-handed)

I am basically looking to get rid of them since being laid off. Does anyone know the selling price of these 2 bows? They are both in good shape, just need cleaned up a little bit.

Thanks

Walt

Here is a pic of Tom Jennings working on a bow that looks like my Smithwick Deluxe. I am still working on my actual pics...

The Smithwick is collectable, the Wing not as much.  Here is a link to Wing bows.

Your bow probably dates to 1963 giving a year or two. In 1963 the smithwick citation custom was 66" long and advertised as an all purpose bow. Target, field and hunting. There was a Mark I, Mark II, and Mark III model prices ranged from 100.00 to 125.00 for these bows in 1963. A lot of money in those days. Hope this helps.
