My brother called me from a yard sale telling me there was a bow for sale. The asking price was 25$ so I had him pick it up for me. After a clean up and some new finish she is good to go. I made a new string and installed some brass inserts where holes were drilled as well. It is an old Shakespeare pulling 45# . This bow is a pleasure to shoot. It also came with a Mohawk bowfishing reel and a fish arrow. Hard to beat

Good score.
:cool:
Wow, she did clean up real nice! Congrats on a great find. :thumbsup:
:thumbsup: Excellent
That was a good deal.
Nice looking bow, those Shakespeare bows are good shooters
Good idea putting the brass inserts in where the holes were. :thumbsup:
Man--that looks to be in great shape! I wish I could find something like that. All I run into are mismatched golf clubs and baby toys
good get!
Nice.......what a bargain.... :thumbsup:
Great Find!!
Great score. There are still some to be had if you can find them.
Anybody that knows me is aware I am a longbow guy, but I do have a recurve or eight hanging in my shop. I pick up this bow and and arrows just seem to find the bullseye. I wouldn't hesitate to take her in the woods tomorrow. I feel as if I am cheating on my beloved Mohawks. I am a bolygamist
Nice! Can't beat that.
Too Funny Glen, a Bolygamist :thumbsup:
Not hard to be a Bolygamist at $25 a pop!
Another $20ish bow that looks great.
Nice find is right.
That is one fine bow Glenn...good luck with it. I've never seen an old Shakespeare in near mint condition. You have a fine bowfishing rig there but get some 50-55# spine woodies and chase some whitetails this fall also. :thumbsup: :campfire:
I would like to find one like that. About time to start yardsales.
Nice Glen. Man, that bow sure does have a "classic" look!!
Great deal there.
Very nice two tone color. Love old bows. Great to see them get back in action.
Great Find on a nice looking bow.
Nice find. :archer:
Very, very nice!
Great Find!
Great find Glen, $25 WOW
Very nice looking bow!
Good looking bow. Some fish are about to get poked.
Great find, that's awesome.
Well done.
Nice find. Looks like the fish are in trouble.
You want you're money back? LOL. Congrats on the find. God bless.
