That looks like an awful short brace height...WRIST SLAPPER!!

I don't know about the model, but American made some decent solid shooters.

The Young American was American Archery's youth bow. I don't have the years of manufacture available, though. CKruse

Nice bow, not square and blocky at all.

Advertised in 1977 as a beginner bow or for camps and schools and sold for 39.95 at that time. From the 1977 issue of Archers Digest.
