And the Winner is....."Ole No Name".
Finally thought it was time to pick my primary hunting bow this yr. and pull the strings off the rest, from now on all this ole guy is gonna shoot is broadheads.
What are your Winners this season?
I dont have a clue who made it, all markings went with a previous refinish, but i do know its 70" 65 - 70 lbs and a shooter, and from what ive found out, from the 70's .I posted a pick just in case somebody might have a clue on the maker.
The limbs look to be osage under black glass, both sides, osage in the handle, W/ what may be a walnut strip.
The limbs are wider than the newer Hill styles W/ no tip overlays and just a hint of backset when unstrung and a shelf of approx. 3/8 " at the most.
Any clues to the maker would be welcomed.
Thanks Paul

Not sure of the bowyer but a fine looking bow!
more pics?
khardrunner, i added a few pics for possible I.D help.
Thanks Paul
Jerry Hill comes to mind when I see it... but I'm not a pro by any means. Someone on here will have a better idea. I like the dark wood!
Nice older bow. Good luck with it this year and let us know how you make out!
Any pics of the limb tips?
Goshawkin, heres a pick of both tips, the upper tip is the more pointed of the 2. No overlays just glass on wood.

Really cool old bow with what looks like honest hunting wear, love those old hunting bows. Take it for a walk and bring back some game.
