Vintage Golden Eagle Eagle Takedown Recurve Bow – Early 1970s (Circa 1972–1973) Make: Golden Eagle Archery (USA) Model: Eagle – Takedown Recurve Year: Early 1970s (estimated 1972–1973) Type: Bolt-down takedown recurve (pre-ILF) This listing is for an early-generation Golden Eagle “Eagle” takedown recurve bow, produced in the early 1970s, prior to the later deep-recurve Eagle models most commonly seen online. This example features the earlier straight / mild working-limb design, which dates it to approximately 1972–1973. Unlike later performance-oriented Eagles with aggressive hooked recurves, this bow reflects Golden Eagle’s early hunting-bow design philosophy—quiet, smooth, and durable, with long working limbs and modest recurve at the tips.
