Title: Badger by Legacy?
Post by: ricmil48 on January 27, 2010, 10:37:00 AM
I have a longbow that I received and I do not
know anything about it. It says -Badger- by legacy on one side and serial number on the other with (64")55# @28" and 7 3/16 BH. If anyone has any knowledge of this longbow please let me know.
Thank you

Ricky, I sold a bow a while back here on Tradgang that was a Badger by Legacy.  I believe mine was a 45# that had been taken down from a higher poundage - 60# as I recall.
I liked the bow and got several deer with it.  It was made by a bowyer in Fort Wayne, Indiana who no longer makes bows.  I do not recall his name but I bought the bow from 3 Rivers Archery when they were selling them.  Properly, it's called a reverse handle long bow - not a lot of reflex or deflex.
I simply had too many bows and sold it along with a couple others that were gathering dust.
Yours should be plenty good for deer - or anything else for that matter that you would care to hunt with it.
