Who made wood recurve laminate bows for Sears in the mid to late 1960's? At the latest very early 1970's?
Just curious. Got one that has some numbers on the side, but it has the "sears" name inside a rectangular box. I'm assuming L60W35 means 60" string, 35" draw weight @ 28"? It also has C442 under those numbers. Those numbers were written by hand with a black pen and then the finish was applied to the bow. The box with SEARS inside is a stamp it looks like.

I can’t say for sure because I really don’t know but, my guess would be Indian archery in Evansville. I had a part-time job in the late 60s early 70s hauling trash from that business. I do know from the many barrels of cut up and destroyed bows in their trash that they made bows for different ones.

The L60 might be referring to the length of the bow. W35 is probably 35 lb draw weight.

Thanks Scrub buster, that's what I was thinking.
