Light weight Indian Archery longbow. Hard to tell the year even with photos.

Neat old bows but dont normally go very high. A couple in the auctions now to compare to.

From my home state too.

God Bless

I would say 1950's longbow for kids, they made alot of them. I have a few myself. Lots of times the Indian Archery marking is missing. Not a rare bird.

i put a string on it and it twists both ways the limbs one way the other way never saw one like this looks bad almost like it was made that way they twist out the same both ends but still in great shape as far as wood goes ill put this one up on the wall as decoration got some leather laying here so ill put a new grip on it and up on the wall she goes last old one i got ben pearson old hikory 30# snaped at about 15 inches of draw so i think ill just let it strung and hang it up instead of playing with it
i break stuff all the time have to try to play nice
