Title: Wing model "Gull"?
Post by: Zbone on August 24, 2006, 09:22:00 PM

Co-worker friend approached me today telling about a bow he’s had for years called a “Wing Gull”.

 
I’ve heard of Wing and even owned one once, but can’t remember the Gull model. Can’t find anything on the internet about it either.


Any info would be appreciated.

I picked one up off e-bay several months back for my son. It is a very nice recurve, specs are 64" 35# ser no GA395. Riser appears to be walnut although not sure, it has a brown glass facing and backing. My son really likes it, I can't judge it except on looks and those are very nice. I'm left handed he is Right, well ok not right.

I never heard of a Gull Wing. I have two Wings & they are about 30 years old still shoot good. I research and one of the reps at Bob Lee had mentioned, they had a fire at one time in their offices a few years ago. Lot of their records were lost, totally uncool. But, they are excellent bows.

The Wing Gull was a lesser priced target bow, although some were made in heavier weights.  Like all of the major lines of bows, Wing provided bows in various price ranges.  Although the Gull was a lower priced model, it is a decent shooter and if in undamaged condition, sould give years of good service.

From the 60's. Basic lower poundage target bows. No overlays and good shooters for youngsters as well. Wing made a Falcon model and NightHawk madel that were similar.
