Looking for info on a metal bow
« on: August 26, 2008, 03:23:00 PM »
My Dad acquired a metal bow. It has:
  THE PAR-X BOW
  Park Tool & Die Co.
  Jackson, MICH

Does anyone have any info on this company, and what type of bows they made?

Thanks, Duane

Hi Dagwood, used to own a Par X. If I remember It was a noisy bow when it was cold outdoors. Hope somebody can give you information on it. Interested in it myself. Herb Calvin

I know they were made in the early 1950's but thats about all I know about them, other than the first deer ever taken in Indiana's first archery season was taken with a alluminum Par-X.

I recently aquired an all aluminum bow.  It is green and all aluminum limbs and riser.  The limb tips are very thin.  My uncles said that there was originally a metal string with the bow.  Does this sound like a PAR X bow?
  Thanks

Be cautious shooting aluminum limbed bows. The aluminum fatigues and can snap.
