Title: Can anyone identify this bow?
Post by: btjohnson on April 23, 2011, 05:31:00 PM: A guy has this for sale on my local craigslist. He says he can't find any name on it but he bought it in 1961. It is 64" AMO and 50#.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New to the site and the the sport. Thanks.

Can you scan & post the information that you find there? I do not have a catalog available.

Post by: TwistedArrow on April 25, 2011, 11:41:00 AM: Looking at the bows red color and arrow shelf point it in the direction of the Stemmler unless there were changes made to an Indian. The red is a little off of the Indian and the Indian arrow rest is not present ? Nice bow either way !

Post by: wadde on April 26, 2011, 05:34:00 PM: Twisted arrow is on the right track it is a Stemmler. When I find the catalog I will post a pic and let you know the model. Or better yet if I can find one of mine I will post pics of it.
