Swift Wing Bow

[anysia]

It arrived, and completely disregarding sore back (that's another story) I removed it's shipping carton, and removed a few layers of bubblewrap.

What I saw was close to unbelievable. A mint, in perfect condition, no exaggeration, with string included, Swift Wing Bow. I had a picture of not only Charlemagne (yes, I name my bows. Rosamund, Patrice, and Charlemagne) but I took a close up of the Wing Archery Logo and the bow info. Was a bit tricky as it was silver lettering on cream colored limbs.

I drew it a few times, and it is as smooth as silk. I can't wait to try it at the range.

Charlemagne and me.

Something kind of came up.

Yes,vintage Wing Archery Bows are worth something, scalable on their condition.

There are differerent manufacturers of the Wing Bows. Wing Archery, then Headski, then AMF.

I suggest checking the listings at Ebay, and also see if there is an archery club nearby. We have a problem here, that lots of people want compoundbows with all the balancers, sights, anti shock stuff, and aikidomayland and I are barebow shooters,so finding good bows here is difficult.

If you have any pictures of the bow, please feel free to email them to me at anysia at blackswantribe dot com do au.
