Back in September I posted on PoWow about this recurve asking if anyone had any information about these bows. Well I put a new string on her and shot her. What a fantistic bow. Anyway, I would aprieciate any information about this bow that anyone could provide.The information I have:Challenger ( by Morris)
49#@30"
SCR#575
I believe these bows were made in the 60's but not relly sure.I should add that this bow is either 66" or 68" long. Thanks in advance.

Hope this works. I sized these from Photo Bucket in automatic re-size. This is the bow I asked about.
Wow! Nice bow has that late 50's early 60's look. Can you get a closer picture of the tips?

Here are the tips. Any information I can get about this bow would be appreciated.
Never heard of those. It is very nicely made, a lot of work went into that bow. That's what is great about collecting, as many years as I have been collecting, bows still pop up that I have never heard of.
A friend of mine picked this up at the Flea Market for thirty bucks. I mentioned what a great find he had. Next thing I know he gave it to me.
Any information at all about these bows?
We, at the FASCO bow shop in El Cajon, CA, made some of these bows for Morris around 1963-64. You got yourself a really great bow!
Thank you Fred for the information. Is there anything else you may know about this bow? I have tried the internet to no avail.
I do indeed like this bow.
