I'm helping a friend find a trade or a buyer for his Dave
Paxton Talon Swift recurve, RH, 60", 55# at 28 inches.
FWIW, my friend is a retired police chief and my closest
friend. He prefers to trade for an equal quality longbow
between 45 and 53 lbs, 60 or 62 inches.
This bow was modified by its original owner to include a
Bear coin. (Some of you will know that Dave Paxton
modeled the Swift after the '59 Kodiak.) There is a small
riser crack visible in the photo. The crack has been
examined by an expert bow refinisher, who concluded that
it is aesthetic only and could be stabilized with SuperGlue.
My friend bought the bow from the original owner. I have
personally shot this bow and feel very good about
recommending it for sale or trade; I own an identical bow
(without the coin).
I have several additional pictures showing the rest of the
bow that I am happy to share. Feel free to ask any
questions. The bow is in New Hampshire; I'm in Minnesota.
