Title: Websites Or Books To Identify Vintage Archery Equip?
Post by: GrayRhino on March 26, 2007, 07:56:00 PM
I've been on the PowWow for a while, this is my first visit to the History/Collecting forum.  I'm trying to help a friend identify some old archery equipment.  Are there any websites that show broadheads and/or old bows along with their names and a brief description?  How about good books?  

What is the difference between Jack Howard's Gamemaster, and the Gamemaster Jet?

You're looking a good site for information. It would be nice to see some worthwhile questions asked rather than "how much is this bow worth?"
If you have some broadheads you would like some identification on,please email the pictures to me. If you have some pictures of your friends old equipment please post them here. If you need help posting pictures I can help or email the pics to me & I can post them for you.
The Gamemaster was made in the 60s, it had a smaller riser and a straight limb out to the recurve, in the 70s it evolved to the Jet, bigger riser and full recurve limbs.
Here's some web sites you can browse:

Thanks Ron,
I will do just that and probably be putting some pictures on here for identification.  Some of the items do not have a model or manufacturers name on them, so I'm in need of some help.
