I am by no means a Root expert but there are definitely quite a few here who are and they will be along shortly...this bow is a recurve that seems to have been built very much like Ernie's longbows, very longbow-like limbs and riser

I just brought an older thread back to run with this one for a while...you will notice that Larry Root, Ernie's son, is a contributor...not a man who seeks the limelight but a truly great resource for all things Root...I will activate my buddy Rooty who often communicates with Larry and he will get the others going...hang on to ur hats folks

I would say your root bows were made under the company name precision products

No spiral leather grips past 1959. There's a few company's. Bow blanks was another. He had it spilt a few ways. Not only a bowyer but a master at marketing. It's not an easy story to follow. For me it's the giggle I get shooting my gamemasters Ernie lives in those bows. Recently I've been shooting heavier bows. If and when a heavy weight comes up I'll be there.

Seattle Archery (FASCO) was making the Root Pendulus(sp.) Supreme around 1969.
