A family gave me a bow from the late husband. The bow is a 80s/90s vintage (guessing) Martin cougar magnum where the compound limbs are cracked, and delaminated, where I am guessing someone draw fired it.

The riser appears to be magnesium or aluminum, as I forget what Martin used, with the plastic grip handle, but I recall that a friend had one rated at 100-pounds draw that broke in 1/2 at the riser at full draw. The limbs wind- milled around and missed both of us, as I was shooting next to him, facing him on the line, as I am a lefty.

In the case are 2 brand new Martin recurve limbs, to make it into a 68”, 37# bow. Any guesstimated value on such a ‘warf’ bow? Were they any good?

Of course they were good, but they were their own limbs...not a WARF which is a design for ILF on compound risers. They were Martin's Proprietary design. I suspect Larry Hatfield had a hand in designing and building them.

Thanks George - I got it now. Appreciate your input!

Anyone want to GUESS on the value of such a bow Left-Handed? Limbs say 68” overall length, 37#s at 28” AMO draw.

OK, as a guess, I'd say about a hundred bucks, more or less.
