Colt Bows

Does anyone know anything about the Colt National Match recurves?  Probably made in the 60's I believe.    Scott

Colt bows?  Maybe they were horse bows for kids?    ::)
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

 I never heard of it, but Pearson used to make a bow called Colt. I have one.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

i had one of their market bows. was a box store bow just like herters and pearson. they all made safe shooting bows but they also had higher end bows that were very good. i'll ask our club "historian". and see if i can get more info.

 One just sold on ebay for $150. Looks like a 1962.
