Great group of bows there, Bud, and I had forgotten that you're a lefty. I've been driving 64  back and forth through Zoo City a lot lately..all my daughters are in Raleigh and I get tired of the interstate..see plenty of deer after dark along 64.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

My 1962 KMag is one of the very nicest bows I have even owned

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

Heres some of my favorite oldies to shoot. 46" Herters Perfection Sitka, 46" Herters Perfection, 52" Phenolic Wing Tbird, 52" 1969 Kmag. Of course cant forget the Grizzly too. Kmag and Tbird have the best grips ever.

I love shooting my 3 Bear bows:  '75 47# KMag, '76 47# Super Griz and a '70 45# Super Kodiak 60". All three are really great shooters. Horserod

I sometimes wish my draw wasn't so long, I have always loved those K-mags
All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us.

Dave,
 That 56" Grizzly has been on here before. It's what made me get my lefty at 56". Next up for me is a slide on Selway 4 arrow quiver. That's a nice setup.

Lol. I like to show her off! My first recurve, a gift from my Uncle.

All the above, but a standout for me were the several Tellum bows I have owned. Superb.

Sanders made a spectacular hunter also. I still have that one. A little beat now, but I will get it looking pristine again one of these days.

Ditto on the Nico Tellums. Another one is the Wing Chapparel. Not too many around but have always loved those bows.

God bless, Steve

Not exactly vintage, but here's a little 52" Two Tracks Ambush. It was a tad too heavy for me and I had to let it go. Not long after that I switched to lefty anyway. Had the prettiest set of water moccasin skins I've ever seen.

Now I have a nice, green K'Mag lefty that is 45@28" and I'm always amazed at how it can be drawn beyond 28" and still not stack.

   
60" Bear Super K LH 40#@28
69" Matt Meacham LH 42@28
66" Swift Wing LH 35@28
54" Java Man Elk Heart LH 43@28
62"/58" RER LXR LH 44/40@28

Despite Sixby's earlier comment, the Shakespeare Super Necedah.  I've been shooting mine for 40 years with a 30 1/2" draw, no stack and no breakage!
