I finally found a Sky bow. Here is the ad.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>
Sky Rogue longbows for sale. One is 55#, one is 50#, both at 28". Both were bought last year, the 50# was used for hunting all year. These are the ones made by Earl Hoyt Jr., before Mathews bought them out. Smooth shooters.

The guy is asking $325 each OBO.[/b]

What&#39;s it worth? Does the fact Matthews is going to make these bows again raise or lwoer the value of the orginal Sky bows?

Thanks.

I don&#39;t know, Jesse. But if that&#39;s what you&#39;ve been looking for for a while (as best memory serves me) make him an offer. Good luck. Doesn&#39;t sound too bad to me but I don&#39;t know too much about different prices either.

Doesn&#39;t sound like a bad price, but I doubt they will ever be a real collectable--but I could be wrong. Lots of great old bows don&#39;t really have much of a collector value unless they were limited production, made with special woods, signed, etc.

Bottom line would be is the bow worth it to you? You can get a custom made bow for less, but it won&#39;t be a Sky. Shoot, offer him $200 and see what happens.

Sweet, it finally arrived. Now to get some arrows to fling. THanks everyone. Also need a quiver. Hip or back? Hmmnm. Anyone know any good quiver makers?

Hey Jesse,

Drop a line to RecurveShooter (Recurveshooter - Herb&#39;s Leatherworks). He made my back quiver, and I&#39;m pretty thrilled with it... both looks and functionality. I&#39;ll have it this weekend, if you wanna see what it looks like.

Art Vincent at http://www.archeryleather.com . He does some beautiful work, and guarantees it for his lifetime. Many styles/price ranges to choose from--if nothing else, check out the site just to look at the paintings on some of the quivers.
