My daughter-in-law found a couple of bows, arrows and a quiver at a flea market. The bows have decals on them that say Stuckey, New Haven, Ind., on them. We tried a Google search and didn't come up with much info. Anyone know about these bows. Both are recurves. Thanks in advance. I tried editing down a photo until there was almost nothing left and it wouldn't post. So, sorry no photos at this time. Lance.

Stuckey's was a sporting goods store in New Haven, I remember my dad taking me there. My guess would be it was made by someone else and Stuckey's just put a dealer sticker on it.

I just Googled it and they are still in business. It's family owned, so someone probably still could tell you more about "Stuckey's" branded recurves.

Stuckey's Archery Shop has been in and of business over the years, with several different owners.

It's been a while since I've drove by the shop (it's about 45 miles west of me), but the last I knew they were out of business (unless the current owner recently reopened or relocated it).

The founder of the shop did build his own line of bows back in the 1950's, 60's, and 70's, but he passed away many years ago.

Don't quote me, but I think his name was Charlie Stuckey.

He did make all of the Stuckey bows himself and they were well made for a small operation.

The business has changed hands several times since the founder passed away, but he was the only one that made Stuckey bows.

None of the later owners made any bows. They just sold archery equipment (mostly compound bows and accessories).

Brandon, The bowyers of the past are fascinating. We are lucky so many here keep their works and memories alive. You are better than Google!! TLM
