Title: Jim Brackenbury's SN 1 longbow
Post by: sticknstring+ on August 10, 2009, 04:01:00 PM

I just picked this up this weekend. Our club is doing a display in memory of Jim Brackenbury. This SN 1 longbow was very lightly hunted with. It's in great shape and check out the finger grooves in the grip.  (http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr72/gbsticknstring/IMG_9242.jpg) (http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr72/gbsticknstring/IMG_9245.jpg) (http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr72/gbsticknstring/IMG_9246.jpg) (http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr72/gbsticknstring/IMG_9248.jpg)

Does anyone have a Brackenbury quiver in real good shape?   Greg

Brackenbury quivers were made by Delta , they may have the old logo screen around to do you one if no one has one for you.

Thanks Ted,  If I can't find a good one from back in the day I'll try Delta for a reproduction. Great idea! Thanks, Greg

I have a 66" TD recurve by Jim that has a bow quiver with it with his logo. PM me if this is what you are looking for.
