Check out this yard sale find..WOW!

[Mike Shaw]

Found this Drake at a yard sale last Saturday..    The sucker is near mint, only a couple of scratches. How do I find the year and model name? The decal just reads Drake.  Man.. you talk about a bow that will give you a "Bowner"

I was waiting for you to ask..That is one of yours.
It just tops off the the looks of the bow.

OUTSTANDING CONGRATS

I actually didnt even notice it the first time I looked at the bow.  I was too busy looking at laminations and the way those limbs hook.  I bet that bow is pretty quick.

I went back to see what color rest I should send you and that's when I saw the bow already had one.

I think burnt orange would really look good.  

Thats a heck of a find, Trap

[Horney Toad]

That is nice. Should be a good shooter too!

Hi Mike nice bow,I believe that is a little later model that was actually built by Fasco after Harry stopped building them himself...somwhere mid 1960's....great shooters as well as a great looker....nice bow.....bowdoc

Not what I would expect to see in a Drake.  Really different.  Beautiful

Thanks everyone..       Darn shame it's not a lefty. Anyone have an old catalog with the model name of this Drake?   Thanks Mike

[d. ward]

Hi Mike that model is a Drake Hunterflight purty sweet looker........bowdoc

[Mike Shaw]

Thanks... This one will hang with the Bears. The detail and workmanship in this bow is unreal. I may even try shooting right hand ..  

[d. ward]

Here's a pic of a Drake Firedrake built by the old master himself....not at all as good looking as the later models....bowdoc
