Title: Does anyone know what this bow is?
Post by: Pierre Lucas on August 11, 2010, 06:52:00 PM

A friend of mine found it while cleaning out his grandpap's basement.  Bow is in very good shape.

  It's 60"AMO and a 57" string works perfect.  Pulls 32# @ 28".  No writing or markings at all. Riser appears to laminated maple.  Brown glass on back and belly of limbs.   Appreciate any information whatsoever.

Thanks and God Bless,   Pierre

I take it that it does not state "AMO".  AMO started in the mid '60's,  To me that bow looks like early '60's or even late 50's with the plastic stick on rest.

In my all knowing ultra expert opinion...I got no idea what it is.

I think it is a York. I have one that looks just like that and had the same stick on rest.
