Title: Any one know this bower's signiture? ( pic )
Post by: Hooper on May 17, 2011, 04:46:00 PM
I am trying to help ID a long bow for a friend of mine that he has come across recently. The name on the bow looks like Ivan Mountain to me. I did a Trad Gang search and google but came up empty. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks, Brian

I think that is an Iron Mountain bow I think the bowyer's name is Mike Forrester.  I don't know much about them and have never shot one but I remember seeing a thread on them and thought they looked real sharp and that writing looks the same.  You could probably find it on a search here.

Yep, here is the old post.  Look at the last and second to last photobucket shot.

don s and scedvm - Thanks for your help, yes that's the bower. I did a google search just now and came up with a list of Trad Gang topics on him.
I told my buddy if anyone would know it would be Trad Gang member's.
Thanks again, Brian

awbowman -  I just found that same thread in my google search and saw that the signatures were the same. Thanks for posting that, I vary much appreciate it!

Definitely looks like the signature on an Iron Mountain I bought a few months back, and just traded away two days ago.
