NOT YOUR EVERYDAY YORK

When I think of a York recurve, I think of the Thunderbird, crest, cadet, cochise, etc...

THIS IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT COMES TO MIND

I went too cheap. I placed a high bid of $125 and it held at $82...'til the last minute. You know the drill...

No doubt, that's a beauty. I too have developed a weakness for some of these cool old target bows. CKruse

Yeah, now that I lost the auction I am feeling that I should have stepped up to $200.00. If I did not get it I would at least made someone pay to beat me. The seller would have been pleased.

I have a cadet that I got for chasing marmots and ground squirrels in high alpine as a warm up for sheep. It's not much to shoot or look at but our non archery freinds like to use it when they come over and it's fine for small game.

Wow Tracy just told me how to look the bow up and that is nothing like my york. Really pretty bow, hate the sight on it but nice looking......bet it shoots better than my cadet too.

That sight is probably worth more than what the bow sold for.

That was the whole point of my post...Not your everyday "YORK"".

When you posted about your "Crest", I figured you had not looked on **** and seen the bow in question.

Can someone go to ****, down load the pictures and post them here. Not all of them, just the omes that show the bow the best. after about 30 days or so, it wil lgo away on **** and no one wil lbe able to see them.

I can't because I am a technodummy. I have downloaded them, but I can't post PICS.

Sure the sight is valuable but a least too me the bow would be lot more desirable without it.

Hold on you mean folks get paid to restore these bows! And I'm doing it out of love alone. (Yes guys I know you have to do any restoration out of love not money.)I'd keep trading bows just for the opportunity to restore them. I have a Howatt in the blocks now, should be strait and ready for refinishing in the am. Yes, yes, I messed it up under the directions of the paint manufacture. We are all aloud a bone headed maneuver once a decade or so. I too have no idea how to even start to post pics here but the restoration is going well.
