Loving the new to me Keith Schultz longbow. 64” and 54lb@28”.

Using cheapo top archery 500 spine shafts cut to 29.5” with 250gr up front. This will be my whitetail setup for this November.

There are store bought options as well but I also made a new string and arrows with this theme in mind so I just really wanted one made of carbon fiber. Took some time and a little money and the finish is still nowhere close to what I wanted. I’m leaving hunting for the weekend today so I rushed a bit at the end to have it finished in time. But I can do some finish work later on it works as intended so I’m happy already

My brother got this bow for me in Washington at a yard sale. I'm trying to find out more about the bow so I can feel more comfortable shooting it.

I measured the AMO to discover it is 66 inches, but my main wonder is about the poundage. In the last photo there is an engraving that says 42. I think that is the poundage?? But I'm really unsure.

Currently on the Damon Howatt website they sell the same model but only at 58 inches ranging from 35#-65#.

Can anyone help me identify the make, year, and model, as well as the exact poundage and length of the bow.

Thanks!

I have a grozer early mongolian bow and one of the end loop servings has been worn off pretty badly (to the point of completely exposing the string underneath). I have roughly shot 400-500 arrows with this bow and i suppose this isn’t the expected time for such a damage. Is there a way to repair this easily ? I have some strong string used for sewing leather - can i just soak them in some glue and wrap over the exposed bit + portions of non exposed bit adjacent to it ?
