Well after looking at thread upon thread of new custom bow pics. I thought what about us guys who have older, daily hunting, plain jane, beat up bows that are tried and true in the field. So lets have some pics of those that still stand the test of time.And its not about ugly bows just old bows still hunting.

This is a pic of a Hill Tembo that I got from a great man, my daily hunter. It has ding's and rubs and is as faithfull as can be.At my draw its 70#@30" and full of strength and desire.Thanks Tim

You gotta love the old work horses.Mine is an old heritage archery bridger mtn longbow 59@my 28 made in 89,it does all i ask of it.Ill try to post a pic later.  

I'm gonna like this thread!

Ok i cant get my pic to come up. Is there a way i can cut and paste it in?

Check the size of your pic it didnt come up.

Green stripe Bear Take down with # 2 limbs that are 50lbs at my 30" draw..ol'reliable if ever there was such a thing :>)  It doesn't matter what custom bow I start the season with..that bow ends up out in the woods with me at some point every hunting season...

Monster bow Tim! You can turn that baby into a work of art pdq w/spar urethane & 000 steel wool.

A doe (so far) this year with my 1966 Browning Explorer.  A bit of tape camo but she's not too bad underneath.

   

And have already started practicing and assembling arrows for next year's hunting bow - a 1974 Browning Cobra II.

   

I love the old girls.  The sadder but wiser bows for me.

This is My "OLD" D-bow! I made this selfbow in the early 80's. Its around 25 years old or more. I killed my first "FLINT" primitive arrow deer with it. I was just a small button buck..but it was one of my top trophy's I ever killed! Too go out and cut a stave and stick and make it all..and then kill a deer... is something you can only feel with doing it! I love this little bow!

Buddy the refinishing idea never crossed my mind till you mentioned it,maybe I will in the off season.

How about my '64 Bear Kodiak

1968, 46 @ 28" Super Mag. Going to get her refinished and cleaned up this year

1966 48" 45 @ 28 Super Mag.

 

1966 K-Mag, 47@28"... After a 20yr break from hunting she has already put a doe in the freezer and these two guys. She's still going strong...

Great Thread!

My old Wing.

If you want to look at some beautiful vintage bows, go to the "Trad History/Collection Forum and look at the "are you hunting vintage this year thread" one of the best threads on TG.
