Title: I need help on this one.
Post by: ricmil48 on January 28, 2010, 11:16:00 AM
I have a longbow that I received and I do not
know anything about it. It says -Badger- by legacy on one side and serial number on the other with (64")55# @28" and 7 3/16 BH. If anyone has any knowledge of this longbow please let me know.
Thank you

I used to have one that was 61 @28.  I kinda liked it but it was too heavy for me.  I tried to find info on them as well but I couldn't.  I never thought to ask on here though.

Mine didn't seem to be a bad bow though.  You may want to be a little more specific as to what type of help you need.

Rick, I'm pretty sure that was one of Andy Johnson's bow. He was in the Ft. Wayne area of Indiana.
In the early '90s, he was selling them tru 3 Rivers. If you e-mail Todd Smith, he can give you a whole lot more info.

Andy was a great guy and a talented craftsman.

There was also a builder who went by Badger Bows in Texas back then.

3 Rivers use to sell that bow per Frank. It was more like a flat bow vs. a narrow deep core longbow.

They are the ones from Indiana.  I did know that much but nothing else.
