York Crest

[Nuxa]

Anyone have any information on a 1965 ish Hoyt Crest?  It's a recurve,  64" 47lbs at 28 inch.  My grand father used it, and gave it to my father in 1965 when he retired from the Navy.  I called Hoyt, all the records from that time were lost in a fire.  

Thanks for any info you can provide

Ive never heard of a hoyt crest and I collect and research vintage recurves.  York archery made a recurve called a “crest”.  This bow was made and labeled as a crest in the 60’s and early 70’s.  Id bet its a York archery bow.  Do you have any pics?

Thank you for your response!  I will post pictures when I get home.

Thats 100% a YORK Crest.  Your bow was built between 1960-1963.

Thank you!  Both my Father and I are thrilled to learn a little more about the history of the bow that has been in the family for a little while!
