Title: Help ID this recurve! NAME THIS BOW
Post by: OhioWidowMaker on January 12, 2011, 11:07:00 PM
I bought a 60" #45 recurveand don't know who the maker is, can anyone ID recurves? It is a one piece with a mahogony body and dark chestnut front and back limbs. I'm not sure how to upload photos, but i can either email or text any to you to help ID this machine. It shoots sweet and is very pleasing to look at. It kinda looks like a Bob Lee, just looking at the pics. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

HAHAHAHA, the Loren Johnson sounds like the name of a ship, and killer is already taken by my widow! LOL! Im seriously interested in the make and model of this bow and if it has any significant value. I know that there is a guru out there that will say "That is a _____ made by ____". C'mon trad gang, lets see what yall got!

Yeah I'm guessing an old Martin Cheetah. I've had a few for bowfishing. Check with Martin on the serial number.

You should call it "Anonymous" or "Anonomiss".
