I've had this bow for about 30 years and it just hung on the wall except the day I took and had Earl sign it. I have been reading how everyone is shooting old Bear bows and got to thinking, (why not Hoyts) I pulled it off the rack and made a new string (B-50). The bow is 66" long, 50# @ 28"  left handed and I tried it out with my GT's 35-55 with 225 gr up front. All I can say is wow. Take a look at her.


 

 

 

 

 

 

Just how cool is this?... Way!! Thanks GB for sharing a treasure of yours with us.
Looks good and apparently doesn't shoot too shabby either.
God bless,Mudd

NICE!

Straight up sweet!

Very nice!

That's a good one!

You should take that old girl out and do some hunt'n .......nice.

Awesome bow thank's for shareing !!

What a beautiful piece of history.

Nice!
Nothing like taking an old stick and letting it be a bow again.

Yes I really love the way old bows shoot,no much worst than today customs.

Very neat! Thanks for sharing.

GB, that's a sweet looking Hoyt and one I'm sure you'll never part with. I say throw a couple of broadheads on those GT's and take her to the woods. I think she'd appreciate that.

Yep, 1954 and looks like a deflex reflex to me. So what's new??

I shot all my deer this year with a 1968 Howatt Monterey.

Now That Is An Old Beauty! Like Ron said... Take her out on a date in the woods.

"Take her out on a date in the woods."

   Yep, it's more gratifying to take a deer with one these older bows.  

That's great, maybe it will inspire me to hunt with one of my old bows soon. Thanks.

Wow,what a beautiful bow!

Beauty!!
I would protect that signiature before the weather gets to it!

Just one of quite a few unique Hoyt beauties in his arsenal.

Like has been said, there is nothing really new in archery.

What a great, great bow.
But I was wondering, Jerry, when you laid the carbon arrow on the rest...did the bow make a funny little sound or shiver just a little?
Just kidding!
