New to the site.Just started weaning myself off compounds. My wife's uncle gave me an immaculate Staghorn recurve that is suppose to be a 54-55 year model. I went to a big traditional shoot in Texas a couple of weeks ago and spoke with everyone I felt might know something about this bow. All I came away with was put it up and don't shoot it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try Mike Steliga at Bruin Bows (a sponser here) He was taught by Bill Pyle who used to make Staghorn bows. He might have some info for you.

I had a Staghorn when I was a teenager, it had a low leather wrapped grip, handled nice, came to point easy, and I killed my first bow and arrow pheasant with it.  Sometimes I just do the dumbest things, I sold it.  If you are shooting it now and it shoots good for you, let it live, honor it by letting it do its job.
