Title: Can anyone give me some info on this long bow?
Post by: fffwwwttt on September 19, 2009, 11:56:00 PM
I recently picked up this long bow for a pretty reasonable price. The seller didn't have any info for it besides what is written on the side of it. I've tried a Google search for F.S.T. but no luck. It shoots good and will likely be a keeper. It appears to me to be glassed. Any other input? Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings.

Oh yeah, I know I need to clean that counter off.   :)  

Thanks in advance.

By the number #007, it may be his 7th bow. Looks like a nice bow to me also.

By the number 007, you have the license to kill.

Honestly, I can't believe I didn't catch that. I figured like the poster above that it was just the maker's 7th bow.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Unbraced profile?

Straight limbed or a little reflex?

A little reflex.

To the other posters, I think it's a little "t", not an "I". Maybe "For Shooting Traditionally."

I also guessed it was someone's 7'th bow but I LOVE the "license to kill" line.  Possibly someone who just got started and didn't yet have a "name" for their bows so just put their initials on it?  Might be something from a Bingham kit?  Looks good though and the weight is about perfect.
