Title: Need help with bow information?
Post by: bansheewins on April 01, 2010, 08:01:00 PM

I have purchased my new longbow and love it.  I wish I would have done this many years ago.  It is a PSE but when I go the PSE website, I do not see the exact bow.  I would like to get some information on this bow and know what kind and length of string to buy.  The bow shoots great.  On the bottom limb, this is the information printed.

PSE
Heritage Series
"Black Sequoia"
designed by Earl Hoyt Jr.
AMO
69" - 60#
#341

Could anyone suggest where I might be able to get some information on this bow?  Also, how would I know how long of a string to buy or what kind?  I don't need one but when needed, I am not sure.

Thank You
Larry

I'm not sure Larry, but the bow is probably not very old. Sent you a private message.

Larry -

As I recall, PSE contracted with Sky Archery (Earl Hoyt's company after he sold his name - Hoyt Archery - to Easton) in the early-to-mid 1990s. Sky Archery made this longbow - probably identical to the Sky Trophy Hunter longbow. PSE sold these under their name, but this was an Earl Hoyt Sky Archery longbow.
