Since developing a growing passion for original 50's bows, i was curious how many of you folks hunt with or shoot'em?

We still shoot my Dad's 1958 Alaskan, he started with it in 58, my uncle around 60, me in 79, and my brother around 82. I still hunt and shoot my Granddad's 62 Kodiak.

I finished this season out with a bear cub. Didn't see anything though. Now onto bunnies. Will try the picture thing when I connect.

Late '50s Grizzly, Kodiak and Alaskan. They all shoot great, unfortunately, I haven't had a good shot yet this season to prove it.

I use my 56 Kodiak sometimes, I like it because it is the same age as me.

My 59 "Broken Heart" gets out in the woods quite a bit

The name "Broken Heart" comes from a badly damaged purpleheart sight window which Bowdoc repaired in the Restoration 101 thread here on TG

I have an old 50s Hoyt that hits like a hammer. Sweet 66" recurve.

Sporthunter, love to see a pic of your 50's Hoyt, sounds like an awesome old classic!
