??GRUMLEY-or not..??
« on: May 30, 2011, 03:12:00 PM »
I picked this bow up this weekend thinking it may be a Grumley or Bear archery longbow.I know theres a few of you out there that can hopefully help me ID this.Its been refinished from tip to tip including the leather grip.No markings at all on it.I'm going to post some pictures of it along side a osage Deerslayer.There are the same number of laminations in the grip erea & app. the same size.Grip looks pretty much the same & the arrow shelf.The bow looks to be layers of lemmon wood Yew & hickory.Any help woould be appreciated.

LaFonds broadheads were made in Lapeer MI.

Rick,

Raghorn would know more than anybody about the Lafonds but I see them come up on the auction site occasionally. Seems like there is one on there now and one or two that ended recently.
