Ok, I'll quit horsing around; the bow a RH 1967 Roy Case

[Pack animal]

I got a hold of this bow and was amazed.  I couldn't find anything from around 1967 about Mr Case selling bows with his name on them.  And this being a right hand bow made me believe it was not intended for Mr Case personally.  the only thing I could find was a story about Mr Case having two bows made to give to a friend.  I believe this bow to be one of them.

As I understand it Roy Case championed the cause for  permitting licensed archery deer hunting. He was the first person to legally harvest a deer in Wisconsin using archery in 1931.  He was instrumental in Wisconsin becoming the first state to have a designated Archery only deer season in 1934. He is recognized as the first archery broadhead collector.  He was influential in helping establish the The Wisconsin Archery Association and The American Broadhead Collector's Club.  There are many many other instances which can be attributed to Mr. Case which helped shape traditional archery as we know it.

I am sure several of the more knowledgeable individuals here could provide a lot more information about Mr Case.  And if I am correct, BowDoc, and possibly Wade Phillips could shed some light on this bow, Mr Cases preference for maintaining a string keeper on a recurve and maybe even who specifically made it.

Roy Case made longbows and recurve bows in his day. He did not make mass quantities of bows. A lot of the recurve bows that he made were made for friends and were personalized. A Roy Case recurve is not an easy find and congrats to you for having one. It is an awesome piece of traditional history to own.

Good find! Roy Case retired at the ripe age of 26, he was related to the owners of Case tractors here in Racine, Wi. and and it is said to be a millionare at the same time. He spent his life making archery equipment. He also made the bow called the Rigged Recurve. One of the first moveable sights with a matchstick head used as a pinsight he invented also. Another good find I have is a single fletcher jig with his name on it that he sold at one time. I have a left handed Rigged Recurve that has never been shot made by him. Most of all his bows were given to friends and I don't think he ever advertised to sell bows like his broadheads. Shane

That bow looks an awful lot like the Wilson Bros. Black Widow H-Handle bows of the 1967-1968 time frame.

In researching; it is possible this bow was made for Mr. Case by a Mr. L.E. Kumerow of Janesville,Wi
I have searched online but have not found anything about Mr. Kumerow and bow building.  I did find an article announcing Mrs. L.E. Kumerow placed 2nd in a 1947 Janesville Bow and Arrow competition.
