Just acquired a Wing Archery Falcon. My 3rd. Had a 30# Head Ski Era and a 35# AMF Era and just got a 25# Wings Archery Original from a buddy for $50. He asked me to refinish it for him and I strung it up and shot it and OH YEAH, I GOTTA GET THIS ONE!! I post pics when I get her restored. She's pretty rough right now. Most of finish is gone but good shape otherwise. Love me some Wings. Randy

I just acquired my second Wing (Third if you count my Bob Lee). I got it from my son, an AMF Swift Wing at 35#. I have a RWH that I can't seem to put down. They seem to fit me real well.

I don't have any wings ;( so Randy I'll look at yours :) JF

I have been after this one a long time --- shaftcaster

Falcon is definitely a SLEEPER BOW!

Friend picked up an AMF Falcon for $20 at a shop and right now I'm in process of refinishing. Also ADDING TIP AND RISER OVERLAYS to spruce it up a bit. :-)

I'm a better shot with that Falcons then with most of my other bows!

My AMF Wing Falcon is quite different from the other two. It is 4" longer and slimmer and white glass instead of brown. Of the three I like the Head Ski best because it has the prettiest wood of the three. The AMF is the smoothest I think because of the extra 4" length. I ain't getting rid of any of them. Randy

Couple more pics of the markings and color of the Wings.

Did Zuzu hear a bell ring?

Got first coat of Tru-Oil on today but forgot to take pics of sanded bow before finish. Riser wood is plain as can be. I thought about staining it darker but then it wouldn't be original and I'm a blued steel and walnut kinda guy. Worried about decals looking ok but I think they will be ok. Stay tuned as I return another bow to its glory. Randy Any one got any idea of it's birthdate? Randy

Shaftcaster- I have one just like in your picture. It was my dad's

I also have the short riser version.

And also my first hunting bow that is a RWH.

All great shooting bows.

1964 is my way out guess :) JF

Hey Plywood bender [Carl] I have tried to contact you in past after seeing your collection of P2s on another forum. Wanted to ask about the P2 short riser and limbs that were offered etc,etc Private messaging to you through here never worked out? ------Thanks Shaftcaster

Very nice bows.

Never had one - but they are beauties!

Nice work sig! Make sure you get the woodgrain in the riser filled. I would guess a little newer than 1964 because of the slightly squared heel on the grip.

Got the 3rd coat of Tru-Oil on today. Sanded between coats with 600 grit paper. Gonna let this coat dry for a couple days and then go aver it with rubbing compound and then polishing compound to smooth everything out. Then I'll put on a feather rest and a new string I'm making and some wool silencers I made and see what we got. This will be my first string. My buddy had 8 1/4 lb. spools of Brownells B50 he got at estate sale along with this bow and sold the string to me for $20. I offered more but he said no, 20 is fine. Randy

Looking good Randy and good luck making your strings. It's not that hard, you'll get the hang of it. JF

Just tied my first loop for practice on Flemish twist string. Just used 10 strands of white cause I got a lot of it.Here is a pocket quiver I made the other day to go with the new to me Wing Falcon. Randy

Nice Randy better then my first pocket quiver JF

Does it work Jeff? That's all that counts. lol.

Yes it works :) now back to your restoration ;) JF

Ok boys and girls, here's a shot of the loops on my first bow string. 3 bundle b50 of 12 strands. Came out perfect length seems sound. Gonna leave it strung up tonight and check in the morning before serving and setting nocks. Now gotta go find me a Hedge Apple tree. lol Randy

Looks good Randy. You can also text the bow in your lap and push down on the limb tips at the same time. This will help it seat in. JF

What do you need a hedge Apple tree for? JF

She's Finished! Got the string made and the feather rest and strike plate on. Gonna shoot her tomorrow at the 3D shoot we have here. I'll let the finish harden for about a week before I finish rubbing her out. Randy

Seems to like these arrows. First shots at 15 yards with 800 spine Gold Tip Entradas with 80 g. points. Randy
