Post by: Timberking on August 20, 2013, 05:01:00 PM

I have had this recurve laying around for years. I know nothing about it and would appreciate any info you can give me.

Bud Hit was a bowyer in the '60s. Had some great designs and others not so much. He may have been a forerunner with the 3 pc TD bows.
I seem to recall some multilimb contraption that may have been on **** a while back? You may come up with something via google.

Has the riser warped and seperated from the lower limb?

It is kind of a neat looking bow.

Do a search on here for Bud Hit. There have been some interesting threads in the past.
