The bow actually says made for Ron Baker, I read it wrong. I am going to sell it to Rich if he empties his email mailbox so I can email him.

Post some pics, or email them to me and I'll post them for you.  I like these older bows, and from what I've read on here, Bob Savage was the mentor of Paul Schafer.  Some of Pauls early bows were reminiscent of the Deathmaster that Bob made.

I love this site, so much info and pictures to boot.

I think that Ron Baker was the fella that bought Heritage archery from Rocky miller, who made a 60' version of the Deathmaster for a while. Ron Bakers Bowmaking career was short lived, i think,Joe Skipp would probably know more about this subject, as he was shooting Rockies Bows in those days.

I came across a 56" Rocky Miller longbow.  It was made in '90.

It appears from my bow that Rocky Miller bows were being made in '90 by Rocky.
