I've got an old Bear Kodiak Hunter 45#er from the 70's I haven't shot since about then.

I might consider selling my Martin X200, it's about 6 or 7 years old but it's 60#. I never really though about it before so I'd have to do some thinking and figure what it's worth if your interested in it. It's not a take down so it's a little cumbersome but I originally bought it when I thought I wouldn't be able to shoot my 73# Brackenbury anymore but I still can and I'm thinking if I ever have time to bowhunt again I may also invest in another Hoyt. The Martin is a nice looking bow and I can send you pics but I havn't shot it alot. I bought some cheap aluminum arrows and I think I screwed up when I ordered them because they don't act like they are spined stiff enough but I did get them shooting fair but I'd probaly start with new arrows. I did just recently put a new Flemish bow string on it to replace the standard dacron but this bow is a year to old to use a fast flight string on. Let me know if your interested and I'll figure out what I'd let it go for.

You could do a search for Leatherwall on the classifieds you find plenty of them.

If you want to go a little heavier, I have a Wes Wallace Stealth takedown recurve with two sets of limbs that are 66# and 72# and a soft case. This is a beautiful bow. You can always have a 50# set of limbs made to go with the riser. You might be able to have one of these sets of limbs reduced in weight also.

This is an excellent bow. I prefer longbows so I wouldn't mind trading this for something I will get more use out of. I might be interested in trades for barrels, scopes, guns or ???





Here is a link to Wes' site with a description of the Stealth.
http://weswallacebows.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=recurves.stealth

This was custom made for the previous owner and his name is on the bow. Bowyers will usually remove the name for a small fee.

Wes does nice work, as I understand he was a bowyer at Brackenbury at one point but he's just a couple hours from me. Why did you have to post that, now you have my hackles up in interest.

Oh yeah. She's in great shape, the only blems are two holes in back of the riser from a sight. Its what thet called "glass powered" as it has wood limbs with a glass laminate on the exterior of them. Dang, after looking at it I want to shoot it.
