hi gang, received a bow tonight from a friend. its his bow, but asked if i could find out any info on it. i told him i knew just the place. the bow has written on it ROOT Rover in gold paint or ink. it is 62" 50#@28. with a number. it appears to have maple wood riser and limb core backed with white glass on both sides. he was given the bow in 1970. we figure it was made in the 1960's. what say ye? thanks ahead of time.
