Thanks Chad, I also like my CUB, it is one of the quietest bows I have ever shot even without string silencers. I am pretty sure my bow was produced in the 1950's as it has the original leather grip that sports a leather shelf wrapped tight to the riser. This bow is made to shoot either right or left handed as it does not have the modern center shot riser. I would really like more history on it, the POLARs and GRIZZLY's had aluminum laminates which didn't work out to well with the glues of the times. Thanks again for the reply.
