Where do I start to find some history on Coe Archery? And when approx. did Coe Archery make the bows with the brush nocks?  Thanks Jeff

A good place to start would be reading Cliff Coe's book,44 Years Behind the Bow.It has some pretty good information from Cliff himself.Coe Archery was located in Otter Lake,Michigan for many years.I believe Cliff's bows with brush nocks were made in the 1940's.He was a great guy and one of the few legends of modern archery's innovators that I was fortunate enough to have met.

Currently reading it and its a great resource for archery history, as well as the role he played in it.
