Title: Need info on recurve by Bruce Bourquin pics added
Post by: ishi1archer on February 19, 2011, 04:22:00 PM

I picked this bow up this morning at a flea market. It appears to be custom made. It has 2 names on it, Bruce Bourquin which I assume is the maker and Bill Dilkes which i assume it was made for. It has a quiver bushing in the handle like the old Bear bows from the 50's. It is 65" long and pulls about 65-70#'s. I don't have a scale.

Wow, sure has some thick limbs. I wonder if it might be a St Charles. Someone will weigh in.
