Looks like they were made in the 50's and 60's.
Googles them and good info came up.
Cool old bow.

Diane has a similar, but more intensely green bow, I bought at auction for just $15.00. It's her favorite bow to shoot and she has a lot of them. She has won around half a dozen competitions with it. We just checked hers. It doesn't have a label on it anymore. I think you have a pretty decent bow. Do you know what poundage it is?

What do the horns look like?

I just set up a new range for Diane to shoot on here last week.

My uncle bow hunted deer with a fiberglass recurve in the early 60's. Used cedar shaft arrows. Always had a couple arrows with no broadhead. Glued empty 38 special cases on them instead. Would shoot does in the butt with them. No idea why other than he thought it was fun.

I used to do the same thing to make my own Blunt Heads for small game hunting.Shooting a 50# Bear Bruin recurve bow.

Definitely! I frequent that sight often. They know their stuff.

Your bow looks in decent shape. Should be shootable as long as no raised fiberglass splinters, and the limbs are straight. More pics would be cool!
