Title: What kind of a bow do I have here?
Post by: The skunk whisperer on August 16, 2010, 08:26:00 PM
I like to go garage sailing and today I picked up a recurve with few markings on it.I'm hoping someone out there can tell me something about it.Above the leather wrap grip,opposite the shelf side of the bow,is a yellow & red circular emblum that says "CROSS CUSTOM" in green letters.On the same side of the riser,but below the grip,is serial no.10856.On the shelf side of the riser,below the grip,is 61" 42# 26".The back of the bow is gloss black glass with black and white limb tips.The belly is covered with an off white glass.A right-handed bow with a rather flat shelf and short,3" sight window.The grip sets a little behind the top and bottom of the riser.If anyone could give me info on make and origin of this bow, I'd be grateful.

to jrbows,Kenny,&Bill; thanks for your responses.The bow is at the local shop getting a string made for it.The string that it came with was way to long.Waiting for my 11 year old daughter to come back from camping trip to help me add some photos of bow here.
