I was givin a wing recurve today. Was super excited till I saw its marked 70# lol. Any value in a bow that heavy? 62" amo dark grey riser. Can't seem to add pics.

Someone would shoot it...there are heavy bow enthusiasts out there and Thunderbirds are popular.
What is the serial number.

Howard Hill shot bows in the 125#-150# range. When I was 18 years old, fresh off the farm I shot bows in the 80# range. I think it will be a great bow for a young person.

Higher poundage bows won't command the same price as lower ones....supply and demand thing. :o) But as others have already pointed out there are people who do shoot them and proud of it. Might take a while to sell but if you don't overprice it I bet it will. Regards

Great bow for odd position shots due to the brace ht. You could get some short heavy shafts and use it- instead of an anchor point you just pay attention to how far back ya draw the arrow but cutting them short helps alot. Can actually be an advantage on a cautious buck not having to come to full draw to get your 45-50# or whatever ya like.

Well with that info, what would be a fair asking price if I were to sell? It's just flat out too heavy for me.

Does it have the Head Ski decal? I suspect it might be an early AMF if it has a phenolic riser.
With that serial number it would be a 1970.
Need to see a few more pics to assess condition for a price.

If it's in good shape, probably $200.00 with that weight. The market isn't very big for 70# bows. There was recently a 40#, 62" phenolic model that didn't get an opening bid of $165.00, and another that sold for around $200.00.

I’ve got a Jeffery Archery Royal Hunter #74 @ 28 this year with 150 and I enjoy it greatly. A Thunderbird Wing #55 was sold with 160. It’s good is 62” AMO, anywhere between 125 and 200 might be a guide in pricing but at the end is about the buyer’s interest in it.

Well if anyone's interested I'd trade for something in the 45-55# range or shoot me an offer. Will post in classified adds and trade thread. Thanks for the info guys!

I was visiting with the widow of Don brown last week, she has stacks of bows made by John Shultz she is trying to sell. Most of them from a 140# to 163#. Most of them left handed
