I used to shoot a fair amount in the 70's but I haven't for many years.  I still have my old target bow, PSE, that started life as a drop wheel, I upgraded it to split limb, the original drop limbs are still in its carrying case.  It has a 6x sight (I can't recall the brand), a Barner release, and a couple dozen x7 arrows.  I don't remember draw weight - but somewhere around 40 lbs i think.  Let off is anyone's guess (not much in those days).  I think I still have an old Jennings 4-wheel hanging in the garage too (it was my wife's bow) it's an old 4 wheel - it predated my Jennings master hunter 4-wheeler (stolen a few years back)

Is there a market for these things? I'd give it away if someone wanted it.  I just hate to chuck it the landfill but it's just taking up space where it is.

I believe there is a market, you'll need to advertise locally or try a second hand shop.  An archery shop might sell on consignment.

I'm tempted to beg the bows and pay shipping, but I'm afraid of the cost.  I'm hunting for a ~40 pound bow for bow fishing.


Keep your powder dry, and watch your back trail.

Where are you? I could take off the limbs and make a pretty compact box.

It's yours if you want it.  Take me a day or 2 to get it out of its cubbyhole in the garage and take some pictures.

I'm in Missouri.  Absolutely no hurry.

My draw length is 30 to 32 inches, I don't recall, I lean to 32 inches.  I pulled a 30 inch bow last week with a biscuit rest on the aft side of the handle and used every bit of the arrow.

I'll dig it out tomorrow.

You have a bigger wingspan than I do. I have it in my head that I had a 28" draw - but it's been so long since I pulled a bow that may be way off.

I stopped bow hunting when I broke my shoulder and couldn't pick it up let alone shoot.  Shooting a heavy bow would take some work now.

Got it.  I'll get this thing heading your direction.
