Title: Red Wing Hunter
Post by: Margly on March 21, 2009, 05:12:00 PM

Hi fellow bowhunters!
I bought an old recurve today with the name
Red Wing Hunter 45# and 58" from Wing Archery.
It looks old and used but shoot them arrows as smooth as anything i`ve ever tried.
This is a bow that really impressed me and i`m wondering if anybody have some experience with these bows?

Oh yes great shooters would you have a pic or two you could load ? I'd love to see it.We may be able to figure out what year it was built if you move this to the collers section.Glenn StCharles said the Red Wing Hunter was the best shooting recurve ever built...bowdoc

I have a 48# one and was shooting it with a 9 1/2" brace height. Guys on here were recommending 8 1/2"s so I got a new string and tuned er' up at the shorter brace height. Still shoots great and is noticeably faster. Mine is a 1972 version according to archery archives. Great purchase!!!
