Thousands and thousands of Bear and other big manufacturers bows out there, maybe a hard push to get information on some of the smaller manufacturers. Good luck, hope someone out there can shine a little light on this bow.
What shape is it in? A shooter, I hope?
-
I haven't seen it in person yet but either way she doesn't plan on shooting it.

Try to get a few more pics if you can, Jordan.

bighorn bows in Colorado
I think may still be in business they may have records , not sure maybe one of the computer wisses around here can look

apparently G. Fred Asbell at the least owned the company from 77 into the 90's

A look at the whole riser will tell a lot.

Wtf?!! That's nuts. I wanna shoot it lol
-
That is friggin ugly :o, but collectible.
-
I bet it was homemade.
If you go on TradGang they have a thread with guys that could probably tell you.
-
There was actually a thread about this exact bow about some wanting info about it. Basically they said what was already said here.
-
The off-set is retarded................. :o :o :o :o
-
So what's the story here Jordo? Who was asking in 09' about it and why? Seems odd with it being grandmas old bow.
-
That is seriously ugly. That being said, I'd like to have a go shooting it. Bizarre.

well the other guy said he worked in an archery shop and someone brought it in to trade it for a wheelie. oddly enough, the guy who made the post is from cali lol. i asked my friend and she said her grandpa never worked in an archery shop so it wasnt him. i havent been able to find anything out about the bow or the company
