Title: look what I found at the wheelie shop
Post by: Rob W. on February 28, 2012, 06:27:00 PM
I was trying to get some feathers in hurry over the weekend. Went to the local "archery" shop and didn't end up with any feathers but did find this. Wing archery - Red Wing Hunter 58"-47#@28 Not a scratch on her and straight as a we'll you know. Sorry for the crappy pics my computer is down right now.  (http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee391/rjwalton8/Photo0441.jpg)  (http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee391/rjwalton8/Photo0447.jpg)  (http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee391/rjwalton8/Photo0442.jpg)

Nice find.
Did you ask how long it had been sitting there waiting for someone who appreciates a real bow to come along?

Wow!  That looks like it's never been shot.  Glenn St Charles thought the Red Wing Hunter was one of the best shooting recurve ever.

That is a sharp looking Wing! Some day I hope to come across a deal like that.

This is the first Wing I have shot and I'm very impressed! I always liked the looks of the slim line wing but haven't found one yet.

This might turn me back into a recurve guy.   :)

That is a nice bow, shot one when a teen that my friend Randy had.  I thought it shot as well or better then my bear kodiak hunter.

Nice find indeed.  I never had a RW Hunter, did have a slimline vantage pro or atleast I think that was what it was called.  It was a great bow, Wings were very popular in New Mexico back in the day.  You will enjoy that bow for sure.

Great bow at an even greater price. It can't get much better than that.

Red Wing Hunters were great bows. They are my favorites of that era. Great find!

Great find!  Yesterday I shot my Red Wing Hunter.  Today I shot my Martin Hunter.  Tomorrow I'll shoot my Red Wing Hunter, etc.  Wonderful bows, extremely quiet, fast, and smooth.  How can you beat that combination?       :archer2:

I don't know which is better, the new bow or a wife that can appreciate it. Sounds like you got lucky on both. Good luck getting it back from her.
