Title: A green one at last
Post by: Hoosierarcher88 on February 26, 2020, 03:01:35 AM
After 3 years of trying to talk myself into buying a bow with green glass i finally did it. Ive been eyeballing the old school editions ever since i first saw them on the back of the trad magazines. Well while flipping though another classifieds page i spotted one i just couldnt pass up and here she is. 60" 40# great northern bushbow with index grip in all green and boy is she sweet. Next is to figure out an arrow setup and actually get her up and shooting.

Im a sucker for great northern bows. I had a 64" shadow recurve that I absolutely loved but was just a bit too much draw weight

congrats on getting one.  I've always admired the green on those bows.  ALMOST as nice as white...

That is a really attractive bow. I like green also, but I only have two green bows, a NM Shelton and a Hoyt Pro Hunter recurve.
