Big Horn Two Piece Take Down Bow 62" long, draw weigh 54lbs at 28".
Any idea what this bow is worth. It's around 15 years old. Excellant shape.

Could put it on the auction site and find out.  Three-piece Bighorn Bowhunting Co recurves have been going for $250-$350 depending on condition.  Is yours a Ram hunter longbow or Little Bighorn recurve?

There's another company that goes by the name of Bighorn or has a model called the Bighorn.  Totally different bow and worth less, IMO.

If the beds of the limbs are straight, then it isn't from the original company.

The 2 piece Little Bighorn doesn't have limb beds-curved or straight.It is a '50's style recurve not a 3 piece take down.I'm not sure what take down mechanism Fred used in the handle of the 2 piece.

I think a 2 piece 50s style recurve is a pretty desirable bow.You dont see many little Bighorns around.Its a bow from reputable company.With the 2 piece if its solid and works well with no slop I think around 300-350$ would be in the ballpark.Is it a steel sleeve TD.I like those as they add mass weight to the bow and are very strong.

It is a two piece, tight, steel sleeve little BigHorn.  Thanks for all the input on my bow.

Sold this bow.
