Good luck getting the PO to pay insurance on something wrapped like that. I would be inspecting that puppy real quick.

I want to see what was inside that! Doing the old bow re-arrange again huh? I've found if you keep the bows moving often enough on the pegs they loose count and/or interest, but if they get the mail before you do - WATCH OUT! LOL

Obviously some negative feedback on shipping methods and cost will be given to this lad from northern NY.

I guess a couple pictures as requested are in order.
I just recued this "OLD BEAR" from just south of the northern border here on the east coast.
How could anyone live with themselves doing such a sacriligous thing to a bow like this and cover it with camo paint. :(  

Will be my first rescue attempt.. :bigsmyl:

I  thought that looked like a K-Mag. 1970?
Insured, and delivery confirmation. Ya gotta admit, anyone handling the package would have a pretty good idea about how fragile it was.

Now, about the specs...  :bigsmyl:

Killdeer I believe you may be right that it is a 1970, but it is a K-Mag RH 52" - 45#'s.
