Title: Shakespeare T/D
Post by: knobby on September 23, 2007, 10:05:00 PM
I know that Shakespeare Archery used to offer a takedown. The ones occasionally seen have metal risers, but I thought that I'd seen a wood risered T/D that used the same limbs. Has anyone else seen the wood risered T/D, or am I way off base on this one? If offered, are they scarce? Thanks!

The later Shakespeare takedowns were made by Owen Jeffery and he may have made a wooden riser for them; however, the limb attachment doesn't lend itself to wood risers.   This riser was an earlier Grable design for Shakespeare.

Thanks for the help, George. I guess I was way off base on this one. Somewhere a few years ago, I recall seeing a nice looking wood-risered T/D made by a mass-producer like Shakespeare or maybe it was Browning or Pearson. I honestly don't recall who made it. My loss I guess. Thanks again.
