Title: Old German Longbow Info
Post by: Arrahslinger on August 10, 2010, 04:48:00 AM
Need some info on this bow. Bow was originally purchased in Germany back in 1954. I just bought it last weekend. Are any of you guys familiar with it.

Yes the buck are both from Allegheny County in PA. Thanks for the info guys. I'm taking the bow up to a friends house this weekend. We're going to exercise it on a tillering tree and slowly bring it back to life. I can't wait to string it up and shoot it! I'm thinking It hasn't had an arrowslinged thru it for 56 years, can't wait!
