A wall hanger at best.
I had one when they first came out and I never could shoot it well. We pretty well had to shoot around the riser. No center shot at all. I only had it about 5 months. My first real compound bow was a Carrol. I "graduated" from a Carrol Gentleman Jim take down recurve to that.

Looks like an early hanger bracket Jennings aka a Model T. The first two wheel compound ever. That’s the one that Jennings thought the Allen patent no longer applied to and stopped paying Allen. There was a lawsuit and Tom Jennings lost. The Jennings company basically went under after that.

IIRC - it is 50% let off..

I used to own a Pearson Renegade (which was a compound with recurve limbs) back in the day. I hunted with that for several years. My buddy (who is always been an early adopter of all things hunting) had a McPherson Inner Cam bow. It had to be the noiseist bow I've ever seen. It literally went ZING when you released the string. I swear every deer in the county must of heard it. I'm pretty sure he never killed a deer with it.

I have the Jennings model t with the center wheels like the Allen. The letoff is no where near 50%. It's a neat bow but nothing more than a show piece. Have some original Easton arrows also that were bought with it.

Jennings also that era had a Citation, but it had 4 pullies.

Woodmaster had this bow when he was barely in his teens.
I had a Jennings Super T, among many other bows.

Woody, how much sinew did it take to string one of these bows?
