I finally got my dad's bow. It is a Hoyt Expert 64" and 40#. I am assuming that is at 28". The numbers 2 x 1205 are on the riser as well. Does this mean anything to anyone. Also, does anyone have an idea of this bow's vintage?
I shot it tonight. It felt great. I would probably still be shooting if it weren't for the blood blister that developed. OUCH!
Jeremy... the Hoyt Expert is probably a mid sixties vintage. Don't know about the serial number.
Yes, the weight is 40# @28".
Thanks Charlie. I looked the bow over and could not see any evidence of twist, or any other damage. I will post a picture if I figure out how to do that.
I have a 1970 Hoyt Archery catalog:
Hoyt Xpert- Avg. brace height 71/2" to 8 1/2".
to help date the bow; the 1970 Xpert has a Hoyt thumb rest in the handle and the arrow shelf is beveled...
You just gotta love a Hoyt bow.

Here are a couple of pics of my Hoyt Expert
