Can anyone here tell me when this bow was made.
Only writing on the bow besides specs is
Custom Bighorn. I need info on it before I bring it to market......Thanks in advance.....Philip

Philip, limb tips and writing would make be believe between late '85 and perhaps '92. Still carries the original color/shaped rug/rest plate. Brown glass may be closer to '85-'88. Continuous curved laminated stripe appeared mid to late '85.
I'd be surprised if it is newer, but it could be.
Hope this helps some.

Hey Shick, how are you buddy?
The bow is a cream puff! I'v decided to move it to a Bighorn collector. The glass is all black, front and back. I also have a new great northern quiver that goes with it (used once).
Thanks for your input........Philip

I sold one to a collector about a month ago, here on TG.
He said it was a 92, the original quiver was included. I shot the bow a few times while it was in my possession-smooth and quiet generally a well mannered bow.
