Tried this in Pow wow, now I will try here. I have a bow marked Shiawassee Magnum, made for the Archery Centre, Midland Mi. 45+ 54" D4224A. Does anyone know what co. made these bows for the Centre? I bought it back in the 60's.

Wow, do you have pictures? That's got my geography written all over it (literally--I hunt in both Midland and the Shiawassee State Game Area).

Maybe I can poke around and ask the locals for info.

pics please I'd love to get a look at it.bd

Bernie,

I was thinking more that the name might have come from the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge. A bow hunters paradise back in the day.

Jack,

You're probably right, but since I missed the draw this year for the Refuge, I had to take my bow across the river to the state side.

So the Refuge right now is dead to me  

Of course I'll change my mind next year.  

Bernie

Bernie,

I drew a permit for the refuge again this year as I did last year too. Not quite the same as drawing one twenty-five or thirty years ago though. Those were the days!
