Hey guys I wanted to show off my latest finds. I think I did pretty good. First thing I found was a old box of fred bear wooden arrows. there was a complete pack of 6.It even came with an original bear arm guard. I loved the look of the box which is why I bought them. I figured for $10 I couldnt go wrong.

Next up was the deal I was really excited about. I saw it on the table and the guy wanted $100 for it. Well I was able to talk him down to $80. It is a beautiful bow. It is a bit heavy for me at 70#@28 but I am quickly being able to shoot it better and better each time i shoot it.
Does anyone know anything about this bow? There is no name on it but there is a model number.

also I wanted to know if this bow could handle a FF string? the tips look like they have a strip of reinforcement through the center of them. Does that make it FF compatible or not?

Enjoy, SS
You should be ashamed for robbing those folks! :biglaugh:
Nice finds!
Martin ml-10 was the pioneer model
i would have payed for 20$ an empty arrow box like that. great find
Nice find :thumbsup:
Yep, that is a Martin longbow, do not know about ff though.
Nice finds. Definately a Martin - don't think I'd take a chance with a ff.

I'd only use dacron. Good find. :thumbsup:
SWEET!!! Those arrows are way to cool! :cool:
Can anyone give me any more information on the arrows? Any idea what year the box is from? Thanks SS
you lucky Dog well done :thumbsup:
Very cool. Glad they made it to a good home!
A decided "I wouldn't risk it" with the FF.
I'd be nervous since there is no tip overlay.
Even some bows with overlays shoudln't be shot with FF.
I have a couple vintage bows that the maple/walnut tip overlays were chewed through with a FF string. I replaced them with phenolic overlays and life is good.
I woudn't mess with this one.
