Title: Help identifying an aldo leopold bow
Post by: iowabow on March 25, 2014, 09:23:43 am

I need help identifying an Aldo Leopold Bow. As you may know he lived in this area and a local Dr owned one of his bows. The Dr had about 5 bows and upon his death donated them to the club. We don't know which one is his bow. 3 of the 5 are self bows. If you folks have info on his bow design it might be helpful in Identifying the bow.

Things that might help are photos of his bows. Or close ups of tip design or fades handle styles etc...

Did you try checking with the Aldo Leopold Foundation?  Maybe they have photos.

I would love to see them. A Sand County Almanac was one of the most influencial books I read in high school.

If you can pin it down, I would love to see some photos posted.  I turned up some photos after a little online searching.  Not much detail shown, but it is better than nothing.  And they are cool photos anyway.  The bow in case is on display at the Pope and Young museum of bowhunting.
