Hoyt Xpert 1-piece recurve

What's the word on these bows? They never seem to have come up in this forum.
I've 3 of them, all 64", banana yellow back glass, black belly glass, believed to be:
'64 - 2x1320 38# (receipt dated 13 Aug 1964);
'65 - 3x657 38#
'66 - 3x670 40#
Nice, sweet shooting bows.

The other Hoyt in your picture is a nice bow as well. Green glass model. I've got one in maple 66" 44#, very nice shooters & light in the hand.

Only 3 (yellow backs) are Hoyt Xperts - sorry my ordering of  the photos was buggered-up as I was try to post the photos inline but failed miserably.
The green one is a Yeoman Lion, from circa '59-'61, a British Bow. The main man, Frank Bilson was British Champion archer in 1948, wrote a few books, & was a early proponent of "composite" bows using glass fibre & resin,
heavily influenced by (middle) Eastern bows.

Here's one of your contributors work using Frank Bilson flight bow plans. (In the original plans themselves the bow pictures look just like the Yeoman Lion - 68", not the 48" flight he says he's building).

Now I'm not sure what mine is, labels are missing. Looked much like an old Hoyt. Guess I'll post some pics in the collecting forum to peg the make & model.
