I have an old Cravotta Bros. Black Hawk bow I'm shooting right now circa 1966. Can't remember what model of Black Hawk it is. In researching these bows, model styles seem to change. not sure if it's a Chief or a Scout. Can anyone help?

Looks like a Chief

It's a Chief. The Scout was a much smaller riser bow.

Thanks Everyone for the info. This bow is shooting fine for me. It's 33# @ 28" only I only draw 26" so I figure I'm drawing a 29# bow. Shooting Easton Vector (carbon) 1000's which are flying really good and getting nice groupings. Starting shooting it this past summer after a 35 year absence from archery. Haven't shot this particular bow since about 1967 or 68. Started shooting a Dickie's Fireball that Dickie Robert's gave me one year while down hunting with us from Michigan. But lost that bow in a house fire in 1969. Took off sight and clicker and doing barebow now. Just having fun and enjoying shooting again.
