Title: My Grandfather's Recurve
Post by: Valkyrie on October 27, 2013, 08:18:00 PM
A few days back I mentioned I had a Wing Archery recurve that belonged to my grandfather.  I havent messed with it in 15 years, since I took an archery class in college.  So I strung it up with a flemish twist string and noticed that it draws very nice.  I dont know the weight as the writing has been worn off the riser but I would guess #40.  I think it will make a nice starter for my wife who wants to learn archery.  Its in great shape, limbs are straight and aside form a few dings and scratches, its pretty nice.

Sounds like a good plan, 40 lbs ain't bad for deer either...

My wife shoots a beautiful Ski era Red Wing Hunter. I have been wanting to give it some woods time but don't want to scratch it up. They are great shooting bows.

Yup - my wife shoots a Ski era Red Wing Hunter too.  It is a really nice shooting bow.

Just picked one up 50# Redwing Hunter for 65$ I cleaned it up and shot it. What a sweet bow.

I have three of the Red Wing Hunters.  Currently hunting a Head Ski era version.  Just a super hunting bow.
