I shot my first deer with a 58", 45#@28" Wonderbow 30 years ago when I was 15. I bet the bow was at least 10 years old when it was given to me and I still have it today. Been thinging of sending it to Whip for a health check at the Bow Hospital. Just have to fine the time.

Do they shoot good? Only as good as the guy pulling the string.

I've got a 45lb.-64" Wonderbow riser is What looks like Bulbinga-Bow shoots great! The shame is I ignore it sitting there on my rack-All too many of us have some real beautys like this-(like new) and don't shoot em--Good luck You'll be happy with your Wonderbow but at 64'' make sure there's no limb twist as alot of guys string em without a bowstringer and twist the long limbs---

"Wonderbow" was part of the entire Shakespeare label, so it doesn't really tell us which model bow it is.  There should be another label on the bow that has the model - like Yukon, Kaibab, Custer, Nacheda, etc.  That would help.  The lh 400 doesn't ring a bell with me.  They used a lot of brown glass in a number of their models.  They also had a cinnamon glass that is often confused with brown.
