Vintage Bows-II is directed to the more experienced stick and string archer. Focused on the ""golden era"" of the production built recurve bow of roughly 1955 to 1977, Vintage-II contains nearly 200 photos, 18 chapters and over 180 pages of history, shooting and choosing-a-bow tips, building wood arrows, refinish and repair, string technology, arrow and bow tuning, old catalog pages and more. George Stout a noted old-bow expert; Rick Barbee on high performance bow strings; and Stu Miller the inventor of the Dynamic Arrow Spine Calculator are featured contributors.
