Samick SMT 44# @28 70'' - worth selling, or should I just throw it out?
Slaunger
20 years ago(!) around 1991 I bought a used Samick recurve bow from a
collegue - a spare time archer.
I did try to learn and use it, with little success, and it ended up on
the attick.
I have now refound it and I was wondering if it is worth reselling,
and if there is a market for it or whether I should just throw it out?
On a limb it reads Samick SMT 44# @28 70''. I guess it means 70 inches
and 28 lbs. I don't know what the 44# means(?) Limbs are white and
with no scrathes. I do not know much about bows, but the limb material
seems to be nicely crafted. I also have the other parts of the bow -
the main middle part (yes I am an ignorant not even being capable of
naming the parts of the bow - in English, but my native language is
Danish) in black painted aluminum(?), a string, protective finger
leather (whatever-they-are-called) and some 8 arrows.
Am I right that the limbs are quite long for a recurve bow? I am 190
cm high and I need to use quite some force to string it.....

After subscribing to the group I realize it appears to be "dead". I
think I will also find another forum and double post there, if you do
not mind...

Not dead but not too lively
The bow is 70 inches long and 44 pounds draw weight measured at 28
inches draw length.
The metal part is called a riser and if the limbs are not twisted it
might be worth around $100.00 If you can find the right buyer

Hi Jim,
Thanks for answering on the not too lively news group.
Your reply clarified a lot of the mysteries for me.
Fortunately the limbs are not twisted but in perfect shape. I'll see
if I can find the right buyer.
Best wishes,
Kim
