Title: ID this recurve
Post by: ckanous on January 22, 2011, 07:45:00 AM

I met a fella at the bow shop today and he had brought this recurve in for a new string. He didn't have any info on brand or age, all it had on it was 60" 52#. Anybody recognize this bow brand?

It is a Shakespeare bow, not sure which model.

Can't tell where a decal was because the finish looks to be alligated maybe from sitting in the sun  or something. The decal must not have been under the finish or I think you would be able to see a little bit of it, so it must have came off or been removed.  The specs were just wrote on the belly side, near the end of lams at the riser.

Again, it is a Shakespeare bow.
