Well my freind finally shows this restored bow to his dad who purchased it in 1967. His father was really blown away with the finish and reminisced about target shooting at the range with other fellas back in 1967.I shot the bow myself and I really like it. I have tuned arrows and set my freind up to start plinking with it.
