Title: Herters Takedown Bow????
Post by: mbear53 on May 17, 2008, 10:21:00 PM

Saw a 50# Herters takedown bow at the gunshow today. Riser had metal brackets at each end,and the limbs were notched at riser end. The limbs snapped into the brackets on the riser. Bow was in excellent condition. The gentleman had $85.00 on it. Anybody know anything about them? Thanks in advance.

Buy it.

Herters made a decent bow, and it would sell for more that on "teh bay". I've had two herter's. I sold the first one, regretted it, and then got another.

  try here, click on the years and see if you can find the bow.  (http://www.archeryarchives.com/herterable.html)
