Title: Longbow question
Post by: KennyMo on March 22, 2020, 01:20:25 PM
Any idea what kind of bow this is? I have had this bow for a long time and never shot it. I finally strung it up and am planning on shooting when the weather participants. Got me curious. Thanks

It's in great shape. I think I have gotten bored with hunting with my compound. I'm going back to traditional. I actually just got a new recurve from ebay yesterday! I am pretty excited to get back into trad.

I think I've figured it out. I thought the writing was someone's name. So for the life of me I couldn't make it out. But it looks like it is a Viper Internature. Not the greatest opinions online but I think I'll still play around with it. I got it for free which happens to be my favorite price!

I want to say it was sold by cabelas a few years back. Not a bad bow.

Yep looks like a Viper longbow, I had one many moons ago, like 15 years. Shot okay the writing on mine wasn't as fancy as yours!

My uncle got me into trad back in 2012 when I was at Beale Air Force base for training. He just happened to a contractor that worked there. He gave me my first recurve. A really nice 52 inch Bear. I still shoot that thing quite a bit. I just bought a 62 inch Wing Falcon to play around with. The Wing is pretty cool because I didnt find alot of info on it. I'm hoping to get a deer this year with trad gear!

Thank you. I read that. I went looking online for what people had to say about it and I really didnt find much. There was some stuff but not much. I figured for $50 I'll just have to form my own opinion. Thanks again for the catalog.

Pretty sure it's an Internature Viper made in China.  I believe that model is the DLX or "Deluxe"  they have a couple different color combinations and were also sold under other names. (PSE Sequoia was very similar, not sure if it was the same bow)  I  had one, they are a fair bow. Shoot pretty good, but did have some hand shock I couldn't get to go away.

A Google search for "Internature Viper LongBow" should provide a lot of info for you.
