In the day of modern bows,, does anyone here follow the Recurve path ?

I used to be into bows, recurve, longbow and compound. I dabbled in it for a while, joined a club, built my own arrows...
Is there any brand names or markings?

My first bow was a recurve. That look nice. I’m thinking 300 plus

Yes,I've owned and hunted with probably 2 dozen different recurves.

Yours looks like a target bow of some form,I haven't looked at the pics closely though. Depending on what make and model it is and the accessories with it,I'd say around 300 bucks wouldn't be too far off the mark as an asking price.

There are collectors here in the states it looks like you have a manufacturer mark and model on the front you should be able to look it up on line
I started with recurve bow's in the late 70s Early 80s then whent to compound bows now I might have to go to a cross bow if I want to hunt bow season I am having problems with my hands and I shot fingers.

That certainly looks like a well cared for and well made piece of kit. I tried bow target shooting a few times, many years ago, but I was rubbish.

Looking on Ebay,you might get around the 4-500 dollar mark possibly for it,depending on who you sell it to.

Nice piece of kit. If I didn't know better I'd say it used to belong to my auntie who got me into archery when I was about 11.
Yes, it's a target bow, the 37# is 37lbs draw weight, a common weight for target bow back in the day. No idea of price, I'm sure "DR Google" will chime in though.

Looks nice but dont be surprised to get low balled like crazy on archery gear, especially trad gear.
