looky what i found at a yard sale yesterday! (pic heavy)
« on: April 10, 2011, 11:38:00 AM »
while coming home from a 3d shoot yesterday i stopped at a yard sale just for the heck of it.  well, while entering the garage i see this hunk of junk sitting on the table! no seriously though i couldnt believe my eyes! this baby is pretty pristine.  the only thing was that it had some white athletic tape taped to the riser.  i took that off with my secret formula. it took some time but she polished out like brand new.  it has the original string and the old kwikee quiver.  i feel really lucky! im not a collector but i do love me some old bear bows! check her out! this is one of the nicest ORIGINAL 62s i have seen!

Not only are the '62's some of the best lookers, they are tops in the shooting department too.

Newelly, good find.  You're aggressive, and I always expect you to come up with a gem.

and bd is the high bidder already! id love to keep it but it would just be sitting in a bow sock on my rack.  im not a collector and im not trying to get rich so i listed it for 150 bucks.  i hope someone that has been looking for one for a long time gets a chance to win this bow so they can put it to work!
