Title: Any Saunders bow pics??
Post by: jackdaw on September 07, 2011, 03:54:00 PM

Any of you collectors out there have some good pics of the old SAUNDERS bows of the early 1960's??? My father and uncle were big target archers on the field courses of central Pennsylvania back then and LOVED Saunders bows. Anybody have some pics????

My buddy had a Sportsman, the one bow I would have practically died for when I was really into collecting. 66" and 55#, very rare indeed.
He sold it without telling me first...ouch!

Are you sure you don't mean Sanders?

John, I wish I had seen this post before the Shade Mt. shoot, or I would have brought my Swift for you to check out. Simply stunning bow. Maybe we can get together sometime. Paul

Here you go...the elusive Sanders Sportsman. I have seen 1 in my lifetime, it was 66" and 55#. These are from a trad history sight.
