Title: New Old Fedora 560
Post by: JParanee on February 27, 2011, 06:47:00 PM
Ist post here  I Grew up hunting with recurves and kinda got away from it for awhile .  Been bitten again and I am glad I kept all my customs

I have a few Fedora's and when I picked up my old favorite which was drawing 67 pounds at my draw I realized it was kinda heavy so I called Mike and asked him to drop a few pounds off it.  He said sure so I went for a visit


While I was there I picked up this lovely 560 that draws right at 57 ponds for my draw great bow and very happy

Welcome back. Beautiful bow. I know where there is a very similar looking one that Ive been lusting over for a few years. Maybe one day I'll own her. I never could figure out what woods were used on the one Im eyeballing. Whats on yours?
