Does anyone have any info on this bow? Bow has woven fiberglass back and looks like elm or bo doc belly. Has longbow style riser and recurve
limbs. Guess wgt to be 65 to 70 lbs.

Kittredge Bow Hut sold the Apache in his 1958 catalog for $75.00. It came in two lengths, 66" and 68", weights were 20# to 60#. The one pictured in the catalog shows the bow with a leather wrapped grip. I don't know if this is your bow as the ad fails to mention anything about Young.
