Title: What kind of bow is this?
Post by: Kevin Lawler on November 15, 2007, 11:42:00 PM
Doesn't have much for markings except br-68-g. Can you tell what it is from these pics?

Don't know what kind of bow (who made it) , but it's a nice looking bow. Is it an all wood bow, or glass backed?

Grip looks a bit Ben Pearson, but the ends don't.. It appears to be an older well made recurve.. As far as the shelf is above the grip, and as thick as the accent in the grip is, I am guess homemade somewhere.
Like to see a few more pictures of it.

I have one with the "green" paint on back side of limbs(ends) by tip ends. I beleive it is a "Stemmler". I will look tonight when I get home. Still has sticker on it. It is old, I strung mine up like I do all old bows and try to shoot them. This one started cracking so I let it down. The glue joints dry on them sometimes. So it has proved itself to be a wall hanger.
