I doubt they made it to market as they would not have the strength of the alloy risers given their very slim profile and the limb connection design. Some confuse the Root Pendulum Supreme with the Golden Eagle. Th lineage of the GE limbs is really obvious in the PS, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130217881922387943.post-80324104031937850382023-12-13T17:19:39.918-05:002023-12-13T17:19:39.918-05:00this might help https://shakespearearchery.blogspo...this might help https://shakespearearchery.blogspot.com/2020/10/table-of-contents-visual-aid-to-blog.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130217881922387943.post-27641063614966092122023-12-11T00:29:55.676-05:002023-12-11T00:29:55.676-05:00I love the information that you have posted here a...I love the information that you have posted here about this bow. I like how you put multiple pictures and a lot of explanation. This blog gave me a better understanding of what the bow is all about.

At the time I was quite young and shooting a Wing Presentation out of Texas. Gary Wiltse was my mentor and I bought a Golden Eagle from him before he moved out to Phoenix AZ where he was highly successful in competition there going back to 1970. I believe Phil Grable introduced our shooters to his new bow design in the late 1950's early 1960's about the time I headed off to College.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130217881922387943.post-23608156553850957752023-09-01T11:46:09.382-04:002023-09-01T11:46:09.382-04:00I have recently been gifted two Wonderbows.

Both are in I would say good to very good condition, having probably only been shot a few times and then stored all these years, according to your blogs, they are both ‘64 models. I have been shooting the X24 and I love it, and will try out the X16 this weekend. I’m wondering what the value of these are? I’m in Scotland, UK and there’s not much info over here on these and I can’t find any old sales threads. I know it’s hard to value these without photos, but I can send these if you are willing to have a look?
