A friend was given 2 long bows and a take-down recurve, one long bow is marked as to maker(Sky trophy hunter # 809 60# 69"). The markings on one long bow: 50# @ 28" AMO 68" ML-10 2550, markings on the take-down recurve are: 60# @ 28" AMO 62" MTDC-0379. Bows are well made and look to have had only a few arrows shot from them. Any clue as to the year and who made these Bows? Thanks for the help... [/IMG]

A pic might help, try this again...

The one marked ML-10 is made by Martin Archery and is still in production.  As for the take down recurve if you could post a picture that would help a lot and greatly speed up getting an answer.  Joseph

Sky is Earl Hoyt. The ML is a Martin. The recurve someone else will be along I'm sure.

Okay the takedown recurve looks like a Martin bow also from what I can see of it, just not sure exactly which one.  I am thinking though that it is an older one that the sold for a while using the same handle as there Warthog compound.  I am guessing this because of the ball bearing pivots I see in the limb buts.  They are good bows though and will serve your friend well.  Joseph

I don't know what the wood riser model was called, but the metal risered version of the 'curve (it's a Martin) was called the...darn it, I made one out of a Panther riser; but I can't recall the legit name.  Guess I don't win a prize.  

Joseph is right, it was based on a compound...call it the first Warf...lol...

The metal risered version has a pretty decent rep... but the limbs were notoriously undermarked...

Check out how they used wood shims to get a better angle for the limbs...

Larry Hatfield could tell you the model

Now I remember.  The metal risered version was called the Lynx.  And I believe there was another version called the Cougar.
