I don't know much about them other then having a few pictures they are Indian Stalker and an Indian Timberwolf. They are being offered to me in trade for and Item I have valued about $100. What do you think they are worth?

Are you going to use them or hunt with them? Or resell them? To me they would be worth 5.00 a piece because they are out dated and out of style and I have a new compound that I hunt with. The bow industry has grown huge in past 10-15-20 years. Unless those are collectors items no ones going to want to buy them to use.

NWS.

Don't even give the trader 30 in credit for the pair of them.

I have a PSE Nova that I can't get $150 for, and it has carbon arrows, release, quiver,silencer 3 arrow rest 2 bow squares, wrist strap,stabilizer, and hard case, string loop (alum). 6 years old at that.29" adjustable draw 60# pull.

What you trading with? I can send the bow down after 9/15 with a hunting buddy.

I agree with the posts above. They would be worth more if they were recurves. You couldn't pay me to take them.

$25@ tops!

Here's a history of the company. http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/escalade-incorporated-history/

I had 20 or 30 of these back in the early 80's and they sold like hotcakes!

Everybody and their brother was copying them and soon no one knew who Indian was! Bear came out with a kit bow that was a block of laminated wood with a pencil drawn template on it as the riser and you had to cut it out on a ban saw and hand shape it to your liking, it came with real heavy glass limbs and wheels (not cams) and a crap load of cables and a string. The directions if followed to the letter would produce you a bow that was set at 70+lbs and not usable by today's standards. I/we re-engineered the cable configuration and got it down to a smooth 50lbs and I used it for 3 or 4 seasons and took dozens of deer with it.

The only thing those are worth is to introduce some kid to archery. Give it to some kid you know that doesnt have a bow or doesnt hunt..

OMG!!!!! teardrop cables that really takes me back. All seriousness tho, I have been shooting archery all my life and those bows are almost worthless, maybe a decent little bow fishing rig thats it.
