Title: What a blast!!!!
Post by: Kenkel on August 15, 2009, 08:30:00 PM
Just got a new to me bow today and man is it sweet!!  I posted about it earlier but  this is a better description.

It says on the top limb:  Dick Palmer
Bottom limb: 55# @ 28"
                         AMO 68"
                         ??-14 (Cant make out the two letters in front of the numbers, I am sure they are a standard for something)

                         Saxon

Looks to be a Bocote(guess) riser with elm(another guess) limbs under a clear glass.

All I know is that it shoots great, I glued some judo points on some wood shafts to giver  a go.  The first shot was dead middle of a clover top at 15 steps.  The next shot was  a bit off but the third shot was in the middle again.  This time a oak leaf that foolishly landed in the yard!!  Anyway had a blast and I just dont know what I been missing!!

Anybody have any idea what kind of bow that I have????

Dick Palmer has an archery shop in the Fayetteville area.  I shot with Dick a couple of times back in the late '80's.  He was shooting a 150# longbow at that time.

Yeah, I have been to Dick's shop a few times.  He is a really helpful person to say the least and fun to talk to.  The guy that I bought it off of said that it was a Martin.  I was just wondering if it was a Dick Palmer edition Martin or something.  Doesnt say Martin anywhere on it.  Thanks again.
