offer him $100, but $125 isn't bad if it's in good shape. This may be con traversal, but I like the old Wings better than the Bears.

I got one of those for 90$ on E-b@# I think you should go for it. If you can get it for less, by all means do. It is a great bow and I love shooting it. Actually it is my go to bow right now.

I got an AMF Red Wing Hunter from Smalson here on the site for $90. I was a little hesitant just beacuse everybody says how when AMF took over and Bob Lee left they went downhill. Well, I love the bow. $125 isn't bad and now that I know how well this bow shoots I would've paid $125 for it. Doesn't hurt to ask him if he'll take 100 though.

Just make sure you locktite all the bolts and carry a quart of oil in your quiver and you should be fine.    :biglaugh:

Don't you know what the letters AMF stand for? They almost killed Harley Davison and they did the same to Wing Archery. I wouldn't pay more than $70 for an AMF Red Wing Hunter. I pre AMF is worth $125.

I recently bought one on **** for $104, it's a great shooting bow with no defects I can see.

There is an older man that has an archery shop close to me. He collects Wing bows and has been shooting them since they have been made, i asked him if the AMF's were any good, he told me they all are. I believe him, I have a few old Wing's $125 is a fair price to pay for one in good shape. I think there are more old Bear bows out there than Wing and look what the Bears bring.
