Title: Shakespeare - info/collecting
Post by: Sewer Rat on June 21, 2005, 08:14:00 AM

I have several shakespeare bows in varying conditions.  Only reason I got them, was because my first bow was a shakespeare (Dad's hand-me down).

But, are there any websites regarding shakespeare bows?  Couldnt find any when I googled.

Would like to know the history and/or any other info on shakespeare.

Thanks for any info

I have a site bookmarked somewhere that shows the Shakespeare bows year by year. I will try to find it and mail it to you. I have one old Shakespeare bow. It's a Pecos X-23. I liked the handle on it so much that when I had my first custom made (Bighorn) years ago, I had them copy the grip area. I guess thats why I've kept it all these years. Pretty nice little bow.

I think I found info on Shakespeare just thru some sites found on google. Its there, just have to search and it lists models and years made.  I have a 50# Shakespeare Sierra, looks like new and shoots pretty good but I am new to this.  I am actually considering selling it if you are looking for one.  I am new to this site today so I may find another thread to post it when I decide to sell. I was to use it till a co-worker found out I liked to shoot bows and sold me his old one out of the closet and its a like new Bear Kodiak Magnum.
