Hoyt Pro Medalist Info

[Bvas]

Hoping ya'll can give me a little more info on this bow.
Unfortunately it has little collectors value. I'm currently trying to repair a tip just to make it safe to shoot again for a youngster. On top of that, it also has about six holes drilled in the belly side of the sight window.

Like I said, not real worried about the value. Would just like a little info/history to pass on to the youngster. All he knows is that it hung on his grandmas wall. Lol

It's a 66", 37# with serial # PM810. Nice looking bow with white limbs(more yellow right now).

PM 810 is a first generation Pro Medalist, some say the best generation. Made in 1963. They were slimmer than subsequent versions and had some of the nicest wood and overlays. Post a few pics.

Thanks for the info Mark.
Here are some pics.

And no the color in the pics isn't  off
The bow is yellowed that bad!!

Here is the tip I'm repairing.




So far, this is where I'm at with the repair. Wood and fiberglass scarfed and replaced. I'm in the process of adding clear glass over and beyond the scarf joint to help protect it.





If the tip repairs go good, then I will give the bow a complete refinish. Will probably add an overlay to the belly side to hide the sight holes. Or I may just try to locate a sight that will fit the holes. After all, it is a target bow.

Couple more questions.

Any idea on BH? I'm guessing around 8".

And what kind of rest did these bows have?  Based on the flat shelf I would assume some type of elevated rest.
