Title: Not Fred's but a unique shooter for me, IMO
Post by: SlowBowke on March 02, 2011, 02:01:00 PM
Older Cravotta Brothers Warrior
48lbs and 60 inches (or close). Semi-recurve

Some wings and dings so a little touch up work maybe but.....always had a thing for those grips.

In my searches I've noticed that not all the Warriors had one like this too.

July 1957 if my information gathering did this justice.

It's off to the woods this fall after whitetail.

Might add a shooting report later on after I get a string from bearbowman.......and I can hit something with it and add better photos then too.

Thought a couple of you might find it interesting as I did.

Sometimes being low on funds (poor, lol) is a blessing and a guy takes a look at bows he wouldnt normally.

I think this one will be fun to hunt with!

God Bless

I would have bought that if I had the opportunity. Looks like a Nice Bow! Curious to see how it performs?

MEEEE too, Larry! It's got a "Loctite needed" area to do a little work on (why it was cheap) but nothing tough to deal with.

If it blows 7 ways into the wind....Im not hurt much except my pride. LOL

Should be interesting to shoot. They have a fairly solid rep for shooters.

God Bless

Good looking bow! The wood, and looks of it remind me of the old Root bow I have
