Title: longbows
Post by: MLhunter1 on June 09, 2011, 10:44:30 PM: To you longbow guys. I am by no means a longbow guy and don't know anything about them. We have half a dozen old really cool lookin long bows. Is there any value to them.

Another one says Colts Wood Master on it. It is a finished wood bow, recurve I am guessing. It has big curves where the 1st one is long and flat. The other bows are like the first, long and flat but have no markings on them and are made of wood. They look really old, who knows maybe great grandpa made em, not sure. I can post pics later when I get home.

Lots of old bows. Most old bows are not really that valuable.
