Title: Recurve questions
Post by: Tman on December 17, 2010, 04:16:00 PM: I was just given two recurve bows. I have never bow hunted so I was hoping you guys could tell me if they were worth keeping around.

1 is a Howatt Monterey 55# @ 28"
The other is a Colt Plainsman 43# @ 28"

They both say 60" below the serial numbers.
