Title: Old Long Bow
Post by: 1arroww on September 21, 2010, 08:50:00 PM

I just bought an old wooden longbow. All it has on it is W S N L. I think it maybe made by  Indian? Please does anyone have a guess about it??
Thanks

Seen them listed on the auction site a few times; but no  idea about who made it. There will be some numbers stamped into the side......... bow length, draw weight and the draw length in that order-top to bottom as I recall. You might try some searches on Google. Pretty sure the bow is early 50's, maybe late 40's.
