Title: Recurve Bow
Post by: cook1536 on June 06, 2013, 04:02:00 pm

Was wondering if anyone knew anything about this bow. From what I know it was made by a bowyer in I believe Southern Illinois and is 2 years old and was his second to last bow he made before quitting due to age. I was also told that he also made a few bows for Ben Pearson back in the day. Just curious if anyone knows anything about them and could shed a little light on it for me.

  No clue. From the look of the mat glass I'd say it is from 1968 -71. I have a couple from that time period with that knd of glass.
