Got 2 new bows today--Cheap!
« on: January 19, 2012, 06:47:00 PM »
First Bow- Bear Grizzly
45#  58" Year?  KR50029
Silver inset coin with original string(needs replacing)
 
 
 

Second Bow-Shakespeare Super Necedah X-30
55# 54"  L8384S Year?
 
 
 

I got both bows for $100!! The bear needs a new string, the Shakespeare has a brand new string.  Any input on these as far as years go would be appreciated.  The seller was a great guy who just wanted someone to have them that was going to use them. Said he hated for them to sit in his closet.  He originally wanted $100 each. I truly feel blessed  :thumbsup:

Great deal, Wes! Those are lookers for sure. I bet they'll be shooters too. You got two for the price of one (less probably). Now you can work up from 40# to 45# to 55# at your own rate. Those are bows anyone should be proud to own.

Congrats!

Yep the riser is Zebrawood at the grip area. I'm not sure the sight window is Shedua but if so, I shedua and ovangkol are one and the same.

Great deal you got there!
