Sounds like you were given some bad info on the model of your bow. We need more... pics would be very helpful.

RE: URGENT NEED HELP
 

yea its old and still in beautiful mint condition but i have no information on it all i know is that i was made by indian archery and escalade sports now owns that company and they have no information on that bow

RE: URGENT NEED HELP
 

What info do you need?

Looks like it's got steel cables so be sure you don't put any of the "no creep" strings on it our you'll tear the anchors off the ends of the cable; stick with Dacron strings. It also looks like it had a "No Glove" on it that was pushed out of the way when it was converted to a string loop for release shooting. To be safe, I'd just replace the old string and get it set up right. Don't expect it to be a scream machine; it's an Edsel in a world of Porsches, but it'll still kill deer just as dead now as it did back in the 80's. Good luck.

as much as you might know about it ....i dont even know the fps of it all i know is that i have shot my carbon arrows with it and shattered them on impact so i know it soars but all i know is that it was made by indian archery dont know what year or anything

RE: URGENT NEED HELP
 

I couldn't even begin to tell you how old that bow is. They have no record of it because when that bow was made, Indian Archery produced XI bows. XI has been out of business for quite a few years now....

That riser is wood, yes? And the limbs? I bet that rascal is 20+ years old.

RE: URGENT NEED HELP
 

What did you shoot your carbon arrows into? A brick wall?

RE: URGENT NEED HELP
 

no i have a bundle of cardboard boxes about 4 feet thick and 4 feet tall really good for shooting and i only shattered 2 arrows out of 20
