R-r-r-r-r- Really Retro !!!

Found an old Plas-Steel, Glass Lite Hunter that’s a match for a bow that a friend had in my distant youth.   Always thought it was a cool looking bow.                           Three piece take-down   with a cast aluminum riser. Solid fiberglass limbs. 45# @28″.  Put the Flitz Polish to the  unanodized riser and am getting a slick mirror finish. (Good stuff, that Flitz Polish) A bit more detail work, a new string and some arrows the proper spine & weight and should be good to go.  I’m not expecting set the world on fire blazing speeds out of this thing but at the very least it should be good for form drills.

And it’s still a cool looking bow.

That’s the one !!!!!

Found some lighter arrows & put a new string on it. Love the grip. For some reason, the belly side of the shelf is a bit higher than the center, so I had to raise the rug’s middle to get arrow flight.  I may just go with the tried and true, bullet proof Bear Weather-Rest.

Fun to shoot !!!!
