Title: Mountaineer Recurves
Post by: bretto on August 03, 2009, 08:40:00 PM

I picked up some bows yesterday and one of them is a 3 piece T/D 68" Mountaineer Recurve.

This bow has a very slim magnesium riser and the limbs slide on a dovetail mount and are held in place with a large hex-head bolt from the belly side. Anyone know much about them? I tried to do pics. but photobucket is not working for Me tonight. Thanks

I sold one a while back for 150.00. Cool looking bows and decent shooters. Am guessing early 70's or late 60's. The markings were on the limbs near the riser.
