Title: Vintage long bow identification
Post by: Darrell4570 on October 01, 2025, 08:15:09 PM
Hello all my first post , I recently got bit by the Trad bug and have aquired several bows . One bow in particular I would love to find some information on . It's a 5'6" long bow 65@28" and only has a cat # and serial # . I don't know any about traditional bows . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Darrell 

Is there an option for pics ? The bow is in really nice shape kind of a orange/ red color

Instructions for posting pics are at the top of this thread. 65# is a pretty stout bow.  You may want to start with something lighter. Good luck.

I'm hunting with a Chinese recurve 62lbs . Have shoot a couple 3D with it . Coming over from shooting Hoyt compounds . I'm really enjoying and hating traditional bows . I bought a few really nice bows from an older gentleman. But the long bow has no makers mark . Except a cat # and a serial # .

Roy's address should get you there.  When I clixk on Pow Wow, the first six entries are threads about how to do stuff on this site.  The second one describes how to incorporate images into your texts.
