Title: Blast from the past.

I found my old stash of brochures from the 90’s. Back before the internet when you sent a letter to bowyers so you could receive one of their brochures. I started building bows in the 90’s and these bring back lots of great memories.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Thats fun to see :thumbsup: I used to save stuff like that, but I purged it all years ago. Bad idea. Some catalogs actually become collectable/valuable. I had an original 1972 Chouinard catalog thats worth $200-300 now. Crazy.

I remember those years it was simpler before the net ,I would go to the drug store and wait for new archery mags & hunting mags to come out , you wern't bombarded by info over load , unfortunatly some great bowyers from then are no longer around , bought a Jim Palmer & Black Widow bow as a result of sending for info , thanks for posting brought back good memories !
