Title: Flea market find Rob Roy Recurve made in Scotland
Post by: ishi1archer on September 05, 2012, 09:05:00 AM

I picked this bow up at local flea market. It's marked made in Scotland, #860 and 48#. On the belly is marked The Rob Roy. Does anybody know any thing about who made it or the age. Thanks Scott

I believe that is an older model made by Border Archery in Scottland. The still make the Rob Roy but it looks different now.
