Hey guys, thank you for your comments.  Here are links to the pictures of the show, and a couple from home.  A couple of you will recognize "your" bows.

I am still trying to find a couple bows to complete the collection - 56 in. Kodiaks from 1954-57.  Let me know if you know anyone who has any of them they would like to go to a good home.

Best of luck hunting and good shooting.   Dave

Thanks, good to have people like you out there promoting archery history.

Very Nice!!!!
I see why it drew so much attention. It certainly would have caught my eye.      

Very nice collection! Thank You for sharing the pictures.

         

Well done! Thanks for the pics and story.

That is just nice. Nice post and nice collection. Thank for sharing.

Nice collection, thanks for sharing. Did you make the bow rack? Looks interesting, I would like to see more detail or hear your pros/cons about how it works.

Nice photos and great collection. I too think it is important to share the vintage bows. It could be the point in time that brings someone new into our ranks. I especially liked the Bears on the bear picture. Neat!

David, Nice collection.......you will be hooked on the show events now, always alot of fun talking to others with the same interest. I do the Kalamazoo Tradional Bowhunters Expo every year with all the other items in archery, Broadhead & Arrow collection,(bowhunters signed arrows from the early days in the sport) Quivers etc.as much as I can get in the truck.I change it around each year with items from the collection.  (January.25-27,2013)

Thanks for sharing and have fun with it....Hink
