[Cody Roiter]

G-Day mate's, I found this bow in a barn here last week my uncle told me he got it at a yard sale in the 1970s and just had it in his barn to shoot birds and last week I found it and he told me to have as he didn't want the old thing any more... She needs a Restoration bad so I am thinkin of trying my hand at it I not going to take the tip over lays off but jut make the old girl look better... so I hope u come along the ride with me enjoy mate's Here are some before pics of what the old girl looked like when I found her







Ok mates she lookes bad but I think we can fix her up so from this thing call forword into time mates here are some pics of the work I got done to

[Cody Roiter]

Ok guys did some more work on the old girl I know this is not as good as some of the other Restoration I have seen. Well back to the restoration first thing first thank god I took a pic of the ser number and the AMO as I want to make sure I have it to put back on the riser which I want to know what is the best pen to do that with ? But I have not sanded the numbers off I wanted to make sure be fore I did that I could re write them on there...Well the riser in the first pics I posted look like the wood was not in all the best shape but I will be damn if I sanded the wood down and must be got lucky or some thing cause that wood looks very good to me... Here a pic of the riser before and after


The riser is all in one there no need for any LT40 from what I can see what do u guys think...

Back side of the riser coin side befor and after


I added the limb sinks for other archery web site post but u can see the way she came out

Next I got think the arrow self need some sanding
Guys sorry I didnt get any of the before as I was think I would not been doing a post but there the out come..


All the best mate's

Hey Cody was interesting to see how it all come together after all the attention it got. I like the plain lines and finish you put on it.
Must be pround especially coming from the family barn.

Good luck giving it a stretch.

Cheers Wayno

Mate , as much as others are telling you what a great job you did ,, I just cant tell ,, as the pics are so dark , I cant see bugger all Maybe its just a policy on here to praise anything , I dont know . But some better pics would be good
I have a 70's Bear Grizzly that I restored to its former glory , and she shoots great and I am sure I will get many more years from her
I know I will never sell it , as it is a great bow and has some of my blood , sweat and tears in her

Cheers KIM
