A 64" 48 @ 28 bow thats ready to hunt! I picked this old bow up a little while back and finally got around to refinishing it, dont know the maker but i highlighted the 48 stamped into the riser which is the only marking on the bow.
Just goes to show that there are still a few great shooting old bargain bows out there that just need a little TLC.

Thanks Ceb, Im not sure of the yr. but im guessing 60's, but one thing I am sure of, is that the heavily reflexed limbs on this old longbow sure will spit a shaft! :bigsmyl:

Cool! That looks like a very nice shooting bow there! You could easily hunt that bow and for $30! Great job!

Don't know what model but Herters used to use a lot of that colored glass (on the back).
