Title: Bow ID Help
Post by: spike buck on August 13, 2012, 03:21:00 PM

My Great Uncle had this bow in his attic. He shot it a little...and not too well he said!    :biglaugh:   He can't remember anything about it. He's from Pennsylvania if that helps. There are no markings other than what you see in the pic. I would love to know more about it if possible. The limbs show some set but not sure if that is intentional, if it was strung for a long time, or what.  Thanks

Looks like a Cravotta Bros with the wrapped grip
