I have an Allen Compound Bow
Question:
If anyone has any info on an Allen Bow,I’d gladly appreciate it!
Response:
The Allen compound bow was the 1st compound manufactured for resale. They were made in Billings, Missouri. Allen had 2 models; a fancy model with wood laminated limbs and a more crude looking model with fiberglas limbs. Mr. Allen was killed in an auto accident and his company sort of evaporated. What other info are you after? I would think some of his earlier models may have some ‘collector value’. Please describe your bow. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > If anyone has any info on an Allen Bow,I’d gladly appreciate it!

Response:
The demise of the Jennings Bow Company was caused by Tom Jennings, himself. This ‘little man’ refused to pay the royalty fees to the inventor, Mr. Allen. So when the subsequent lawsuit when through the slow U.S. Court System and Mr. Allen’s patent was found to be relevant, Jenning’s company when bankrupt. He had not put aside the millions in royalty fees over the past decade. Did Jennings skim his company dry on purpose knowing he would eventually have to cough-up several million dollars? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Go to this web site and read all about that first compound bow. > Ronny > http://margo.student.utwente.nl/sagi/artikel/compound/compound.htm >> If anyone has any info on an Allen Bow,I’d gladly appreciate it!
