is this price nuts or this bow worth it  320319523403

[reddogge]

Horrible dark pictures.  How could anyone evaluate that bow.

[d. ward]

is this guy nuts would be the correct answer.Once again someone will be along and say she's what someone will pay for it.Again I will say nuts would be the correct answer.......bowdoc

[kenscollick]

There is no way he is going to be able to ship that bow for $5.00

[PAPALAPIN]

To fulfill Doc's prophecy...It is worth what someone will pay.

However, I will bet my Lord Mercury that he gets no bids at that price.

The gal is not nuts, she just does no have a clue.

First off: MERCURY CUSHIONED FILLED TIPS - there is no mercury in the tips.  The Mercury is in
Vials in the upper and lower riser.

Second:  ORIGINAL PRODUCTION 1960.. WHICH WAS LAST TIME SERIES PRODUCED - The bow had a decent run through the '60's.

Third: COMES WITH COUNTER BALANCE AND DRAW STRING - wrong terminology

Forth: BEN PEARSON HUNTING RECURVE BOW - The Lord Mercury is not a hunting bow.

Fifth:  New to e8ay...sold one girls Abercrombie shirt.

Just another newbie E8ayer that thinks she has found the goose that lays the golden eggs.

what would the epa say today about mercury filled bows? is it a good shooting bow

[Cyrille]

I have an old one, and when it was in use it was/is a very accurate bow up to forty yards [It is a target bow and I never shot beyond that distance in any of my competitions. I won at least three contests with the Lord Murcury and possibly as many as five, I'm not sure because I won my first win with a PSE take-down and my last with a Turkish Horse bow all in all I have seven trophies. I wish I could get the Lord Murcury relaminated but don't know where to look. No one in my "neck of the woods wants to tackle the job.

Lord Mercury was a top of the line tournament boww.

I have Ann Clarks Lady Mercury which she used to win several Nstional championships in the ladies division of NAA & NFAA.  She was a staff shooter for Pearson.  NFAA had targets out to 80 yds,  Her bow is only 29# but with the right set of matched arrows I guarantee it can get out there acurately in the hands of a top shooter

Cyrille...What part of South Louisiana.  In the late '60's I shot competitive NAA with the New Orleans Archery Club, and NFAA with the Bayou Bowmne in Houma.

[Cyrille]

I'm in the greater N.O. area on the westbank of the great river.
I aquired the bow used in the late ninties and used it for five years before the laminations on the belly began to develope horizonital cracks on both the upper and lower limbs. I then "retired" the bow and began looking for someone who could relaminate it. But it seems I'm not ever going to be sucessful at finding someone who will/can do the job.

[d. ward]

If its a delamination that is a very expensive job.If you can find someone to do it.Could you load a couple pics maybe ? I did have a guy whom used to relimb bows if they had one good limb still.He charged 500.00 plus return shipping...bowdoc

[PAPALAPIN]

Like I said...cheaper to get another one off of e8ay.

[Cyrille]

Papalapin: I'll have to get back to you on that, however I doubt it.

If it is just stress craks it won't effect the shooting.  IF more serious, you would be cheaper to pick up a used one off e8ay.  Relaminating will be a tough task although probably not impossible.  It may just require a good refinishing by Bowdoc or Droptine.  Those guys wil lmake it look better than when it came out of the original box, if it is relatively solid.

Is the New Orleans Archery Club still in exjistance.

Sorry to take so long in getting back to you papalapin, As far as I can determine the New Orleans Archery Club is no longer in existence.
The only archery club I found in the Greater Nerw Orleans area is the Edward I long bow socity.
I know for a fact that the S.C.A. has a "barony" in the N.O. area, "the Barony of Axemoor" and that they promote traditional archery No Compounds allowed.

The New Orleans Arcehry Club was a NAA sanctions club.  THey hald a shoot one Sunday a month at the water works off of Jefferson Ave,  I have been gone fromt her over 20 years, but it was 30 yrs since I participated.

There was als oa NFAA field club of the river road below Algiers.  

That was a long time ago.  Heck, I had all of my hair back then.
