hi gang, received a bow tonight from a friend. its his bow, but asked if i could find out any info on it. i told him i knew just the place. the bow has written on it ROOT Rover in gold paint or ink. it is 62" 50#@28. with a number. it appears to have maple wood riser and limb core backed with white glass on both sides. he was given the bow in 1970. we figure it was made in the 1960's. what say ye? thanks ahead of time.
Here is a little info on found...
Ernie Root started making bows in the early 50's. He made Root bows and made bows for Shakespeare. He sold Root Archery to Shakespeare in 1967. Root bows continued to be sold until the late 70's
