I don't know about the value, but I've always heard people speak of them in high regards. Sounds like you've got a real nice bow on your hands.

Jim Brackenbury recurve bows were highly regarded as some of the best bows made.He died at an early age while rafting.

Several existing bowyers worked for Jim,his influence carries on in their work today.


71#'s.... yes, that's a hand full. New limbs could be made, contact Wes Wallace.
