Warf bow from Golden Eagle Predator

[Rhue]

Hello from France.

I do think that a warf bow is typically a french idea. That we call "un idée géniale française" (a sort of french diy).

My question is this : Did anybody know if a riser from a Golden Eagle Predator compound ( circa 1990) is warfable?

Thanks for any genial thought and personnal humour.

Best regards

I never have looked close at any Golden Eagle compound risers so can't help you any on that riser, sorry...warf

Thank you for your reply.

You did a great job on promoting bow warfing.

My dad's hunting partner made a warf from a golden eagle, circa 1985. It was a longer riser, and made a 67" bow with short limbs. But it was quiet and still fast. I shot it at 211 fps with 30" ACC arrows. He built plates into the bow limb pocket to fit the KAP ILF limbs. But it was longer than I like. He likes it though.

Rhue,

Mon ami, je suis intéressé. Pourquoi le dites-vous est-vous une idée française?

Pourquoi le dites-vous est-vous un idée géniale française?

D'ailleurs, bienvenue au tradtalk!

C'est un grand endroit à se renseigner entre eux sur le tir à l'arc traditionnel!

Où avez-vous appris le français?

Une idée géniale française est bien sûr une idée que seul un français par définition génial - plus génial que les autres - peut inventer. Le français est un donneur de leçon, un bricoleur s'il n'est pas un artiste.

Monter des branches d'arc olympiques sur une poignée d'arc à poulies est à la fois inouï et trés intelligent _ donc français.

Cordialement

Thank you for this reply. that means Golden Eagle bows did exist once; some bowmen can remember them!

The riser of my bow is 20 inch long and rather straigth; so convenient for a warfing.

I remember a fellow club member who used to hunt with the man who started Golden Eagle. Bob brought back a protype handle and stuck some limbs on it and we shot the broadhead course with it. Not to long after that Golden eagle bows were for sale on a national basis. That had to be 1979 or 1980 if my memory is close.
Another fellow bowshooter and archery shop owener used to use a Golden Eagle for years and when I quizzed him as to why he said "this bow helps make up for my mistakes".
Those were fun years as new bows were coming out all the time. I liked being able to test a new design then wonder if it would blow up in my face like so many did. Ah yes, the old but not necessarly good days.

Je comprends. C'est classique! J'ai étudié le français à l'école pendant quelques années. Je suis certain que mon Français écrit soit meilleur que mon Français parlé. Ceci devrait vous indiquer juste comment mal je parle français!!!

Peut-être un jour j'apprendrai du français approprié!

Jusque-là, cordialement…

I guess I'm not better than you when speaking english. But few adequate words are enough to communicate.

So I am proceeding in the idea to turn my old Goden Eagle into a new and accurate warf. Thanks Gordon and your master's dog.
