Title: Old Stotler Medalist & Game Getter
Post by: SELFBOW19953 on December 30, 2015, 02:38:00 PM

A few months back on the auction site I stumbled across a pair of old Stotlers, LH-which I'm not, a Medalist and a Game Getter.  As you can see from the photos, they have "54" in the serial numbers for both bows.  Newer Stotlers don't have serial numbers. On the labels for both bows it says ARCO,INC.  I've been told that the Stotlers sold under ARCO, INC. Does anyone know if these are 1954 Stotlers?

I would believe 1964.  If those bows were built in the mid 50s, the Stotlers were several years ahead of their time design wise.  Just my two cents worth of logic as I know nothing about Stotler bows.
