Knowledge on old fiberglass bows?
« on: April 15, 2013, 11:34:00 PM »
Just picked up an old "Custom Built" fiberglass longbow. I bought this for the kids to use...or so i thought...in real nice shape. Unpacked it checked for any cracks etc etc...put a new string on it and HOLY CRAP!!! this thing pull about 50 lbs. Well I instantly grabbed an arrow put it to the string and gave it a shot at 10 yds. dead center burried nearly to the fletching. Thought that was a fluke so shot a couple more all 3 shots within a 2" circle. WOW this thing shoots just as hard as my new samick sage @53lbs. so now I'm loookin at an "Action Bow" 8600 Model fiberglass recurve but can't seem to find much info on these.  I do know that the model 8000 was a kids bow and the 8800 a hunting bow but thats about it can anyone tell me anything about these bows?

Bad thing is man these bows are ugly. Think a paint job is in order if i can find a paint that'll stick to it.
