Does any one, (Dumb Question) know anything about a Root Target Master, teal fiber glass lams? Are they good bows? I am trying to pick an old one up.

I've seen both Target Master recurves, and Target master longbows. Either would be a good shooter, if they are in good condition.

Root bows and early Shakespeare bows were designed and made by a true craftsman. If there are no signed of abuse, delamination, overly twisted limbs, etc, odds are you'll have an excellent shooter.

Check out this blog information on Root & Shakespear bows and their history:

""Are they good bows? ""

They are as good as any other of like design, and better than some others. Ernie Root was a top notch designer.

He's asking about the teal-colored glass. Yes, teal-colored glass is superior to all other glass due to coolness.

I have a Root Target Master made about 1956 that has green glass. One of the best shooting bows I own......love it.

I have the Root Game Master and Warrior, what a great bow. Would like to own the Target Master but have not found one that I could afford. You have a great chance to buy a piece of history.
