Title: Colt Bows
Post by: oneeye on December 20, 2010, 09:19:42 pm

Does anyone know anything about the Colt National Match recurves?  Probably made in the 60's I believe.    Scott

Colt bows?  Maybe they were horse bows for kids?    ::)

 I never heard of it, but Pearson used to make a bow called Colt. I have one.

i had one of their market bows. was a box store bow just like herters and pearson. they all made safe shooting bows but they also had higher end bows that were very good. i'll ask our club "historian". and see if i can get more info.

 One just sold on ebay for $150. Looks like a 1962.
