well after a little looking, just cause borded LOL
I doubt this X bow was used in the 1960 Olympics, as seems there wasn't any at all events Archery was first introduced to the Olympics in 1900. It was included at the 1904, 1908 and 1920 Games, then had a 52-year hiatus from the Olympic Programme.
In 1972, archery returned to the Games and it has remained an Olympic sport ever since.
and they only used Recurve bow's NOT X bows at all!
so, looking like the story you were told with it, was maybe a little off on things??
sorry to bust any bubbles here, still a cool X bow
