I actually got this bow off eBay in spring 2020 and had it shipped to a border town in New York State for me to pickup.
As we know land crossings were soon halted due to the pandemic, so I had to wait until mid-November of this year to be able to go pick it up!
Pics are not the best...will get better ones when the weather improves.
Been looking for a 50# Saber for years and finally found a listing where the bow was not named, so flew under the radar!
I had a string made by Allen Shafer and, best of all, a set of silencers monkeyball sent me that I had been saving just for this bow.
I found some comments Larry Hatfield made on another Saber thread of mine. This model, made from 1996-2000, was modelled after the old 1958-1960 Catalina's and Palomar's.
In Larry's words:
"The reason it looks like the old bows was deliberate. I liked those bows so much I wanted to build something like them with modern materials.
Sadly, not too many people figured out what a good bow that was and they faded quickly. Gail Martin and I shot them for years.
Gail's favorite bow I ever built for him."
That's pretty high praise eh?
Thanks for looking... Peter >>>----------->
