Title: Wing Collector's, What do I have here?
Post by: Larry m on August 31, 2010, 06:24:00 PM

Did some horse trading at the range today and came away with this Presentation 11. Most often I'm a Bear Archery Collector but this was too nice to pass up. Tournament bow, with two small holes in the riser. Other then that I don't know much about this bow.  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery128.jpg)  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery127.jpg)  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery122.jpg)  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery121.jpg)  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery120.jpg)  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery119.jpg)  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery118.jpg)

That is a nice example of a Wing Presentation II

The two drilled holes are for a sight mount, not a quiver.  Yours appears to be a '70's model.

They were made in two riser lengths, and two limb lengths so you could set them up from a short to a long bow, depending on how you combind them.  They were popular as tournament bows, and great shooters.   Good find.

Thanks Jack. Knew I could count on you. Oh Yeah, the 63 KM. If I ever decided to move it, I would let you know.
