[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4285754, member: 16254"] I have a few recurve bows for sale. These are the remainder ( I brought 11 bows from Chicago to Edmond ) of a preserved collection of bows I purchased from the "Archery Custom Shop" in Forest Park, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago). The store was founded by Don Shram, a well-known archer, hunter and personal friend of Fred Bear. The Archery Shop operated for 75yrs from 1948 to 2023. I bought the bows just prior to their closing. You can pull up outdoor videos of Don Shram and also some of Don with Fred Bear on YouTube. These are [I]High Quality [/I]recurves that were the pinnacle of their time, prior to the compound bow, and still perform with and exceed many of the new bows available today. You can show up to your next hunt to meet old friends in the woods or at McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in any new vehicle like all the others, or you can show up in a classic, rare, sports car. Distinguish yourself from the crowd. Look at these Muscle Bows from yesteryear and then ask yourself, am I worth it? The true value of a man, a hunter, is the confidence and self-worth he has in himself. Be a believer and shoot and hunt in [I]style[/I].
