I'm very excited. My daughter's future father in-law just called me. He has a Wing Presentation I that he wants to sell. I have been wanting one of these bows for a longtime. I'll have to check it out carefully. He said it's been standing up in his closet for years and it sounds like it might have some stress crack in the glass. He "says" it's in good shape though. 70", 37# @ 28", with sights, no string (not a problem)

Web picture not, not his bow.

Been looking for a lefty Outlaw for a few years.

Enjoy your soon to be new/old bow.

Well done. Those are fabulous bows.

My son has a Wing "Presentation" LH 38# @ 28" But all it has on it is a sticker with the word "Presentation." No numeral. It has very narrow tips and is 69" from tip to tip and is difficult to brace either because it's too long or because my arms are too short. %>)

Others know and can clarify this far better than I, but I believe the Presentation I and II (takedown) came later, 1966 or 67? and continued into the Head Ski and AMF years, whereas the original "outlawed" Presentation was introduced in 1961 and had sleeker lines, no horns on the riser, and tiny tips...to say nothing of those gorgeous laminations on the belly side of the riser that extended into sight window ;-). Great bows.

If it has been standing in the corner of a closet for years, be sure to check for limb twist.

My shooting buddy has a mint-condition 30# Presentation II...amazing shooter!

Don't worry too much about any limb twist...you may be able to untwist it with brute force and lightbulb heat...standard practice with old Bears.
