Post by: M60gunner on June 11, 2012, 01:18:00 PM
Help, I want know where I can get info on determining the condition of a Pete George longbow I may sell? I looked in the "classified rules" but no luck. Thanks, Tom M

If its just condition questions, ask away.  I personally am not familiar with the Pete George bows but In general, you should check to see if the limbs are straight and most guys are apt to ask about cracks, chips, dents, dings and scratches.  Pictures are always a help.

Of course self bows are a different beast and I was assuming it was not a self bow.

Good luck.

Thank you. This is a shooter not a 10 out of 10. I think I get the Idea, a picture is worth a 1000 words.
Thanks Agian, Tom

Be sure to state wheter there are names on bow, whether or not there are holes, rub marks from strap or slip-on bow quivers, etc.  Sometimes scuffs in the finish don't always show up in pictures.  Many like to see a picture of the bow strung and unstrung.
