Don, don't know the answer to your question. But, would you try to shoot that bow or is it a wall hanger all the way? Those aluminum nocks probably answer that question for me.

I have had a string on it Phil. And shot some arrows. It actually shoots pretty nice and is very quiet. Not sure if it’s age trying to find out.

It has nice lines. But I'm guessing it's pretty old, probably someone who knows will chip in.

I’m afraid this bow is way older then anyone here to remember Phil. Not to many guys into victorian era long bows.;) maybe someone who works in a museum Might know.

This is a Homer Prouty yew bow that I believe is from the 1930-40’s with his bowyer stamp.

Thanks For sharing that Homer Prouty bow with us Mark. Interesting that makers mark stamp. Did they do that just with pressure?
