Stay tuned, I have been in contact with a couple of key players who have still not checked their "racks" for these bows.

Mike, post us a pic of that one please. Did you go back to page one and see the 59 from Jack Shanks? Yours is the second bow in that series from 59 that has turned up.

Your bow is also very close in number to my 60 twins, 376 and 377.

Thanks for keeping the ball rolling.

Here are a few not-so-great photos of BH 909. This bow is certainly far from pristine.  This bow was hunted hard in Pennsylvania and the owner obviously didn't baby it in the woods.  Its 50+ years are showing their effect on the riser finish.

Still shoots great, even with its worn feather rest......its about time to order a few from Trap!

Hayslope
That's a fine looking bow. The 60 K is next on my list that I would like to find. After what I learned on this thread I know what I'm looking for.

NOPE!!!! But I want one like hayslope's with the copper coin in the low 40 lb range. Not sure where I'll pick that up but definitely on the search.

So that is definite no then?

You realize the twins are 38 and 45 @ 26 inches and have the copper coins and you are first in line if I ever sell them.

And since you have been such good luck for me I am gonna help you find what you are looking for.

BH247 60" 47# w/ butcherblock sight window is in my collection. It has been refinished and is on the shooters rack. Fun bow to take out in the backyard but a little light in weight for my hunting. Hope this helps, Chuck.
I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Seems we are adding bows one at a time, Chuck, and the last one was a 59 so you have the 60 ball rolling again.

My twins BH376 and 377 have the butcher block as well.

Thanks for posting, I know you are a busy guy these days.

From what we have now it does not, so how about some info on the other specs of the bow such as length and limb tip configuration. Pics are always the best way to identify bows.

Okay now it gets a lot more mysterious.

And btw that is not an attempt at pics, that is a very good result at pics.

All we can do for now is wait for Wade Phillips or possibly Bowdoc to enlighten us. Those limb tips are so much like the ones on my BH bows.
