Vintage John Graham T/D Recurve

[George D. Stout]

Wanted to show you a few photos of a rare old commodity.  John Graham II started a bow company in 1969 and for a few years made a takedown recurve, prior to his Dynabo in the mid 70's.  You don't often run across them but they are neat bows and shoot very well.  Other than the Wilson Brothers Black Widow metal risers, they were the only rear mounted, metal risers at the time.   This model is 60" AMO and 50#.  Riser is aluminum.

Neat bow. I had a Dynabow years ago. Bow shot well but was hard to keep tuned. Looks like the same riser. Do you shoot that bow George, or is it just a looker?

Very neat, George!  Did Graham use a CNC way back in '69?!?   ;^)

[George D. Stout]

The information is limited on John Graham and his setup, so I don't know about the CNC. I believe that John did use the same riser or one nearly identical to it for the Dynabo.  

I shot the bow a few shots and it points very well, as do most forward riser bows.  It's an accurate shooter.  I owned one about six years ago of forty-five pounds...a friend bought that one from me.  I'll probably sell this one too since I found a nice '66 Kodiak that I want to keep.
