Grimes bow. I think.
They made a number of different aluminum bows.

No, it's not a Grimes, it's an Algonac Jet, if memory serves correctly.  Made in Algonac, Michigan in the same time frame as all the other aluminum bows.  Some of them had drilled holes in the recurves - supposedly, that was to adjust draw weight.  If I get my butt in gear this weekend, I'll post a pic of one with the holes.

I have all of Floyd Eccleston's collection of metal bows that this one came from.  :cool:
