Literally I ended up selling 3 bows in order to justify purchasing this one. The search lasted 10+ years. What a remarkable find. The slight amount of history behind the bow is nothing short of amazing and I feel blessed and fortunate to have acquired it.
Thank you Glenn and thank you Molly. The bow was previously owned since new by William (Deacon) Balliew, Calhoun, GA. Should you know him, you are blessed. I wished I would have.
After reading about some of his accomplishments and generosity, I already feel attached to the man and his purpose.
I just wanted to share this with my good friends,
Tice and Watts

Leon, The bow was made in the late 60's and early 70's.

Not many people have even heard of Tice & Watts Bows. They were designed and built by Lovell Tice and Bill Watts of Huntsville Alabama. The were both Physicists for the Space Program, more importantly they were both bowhunter's. In there Quest for a great recurve bow,they decided to build they're own, using the Nassau Computer,that they were acustomed to and had access to. The "Tice' was unique in that besides using tapered core wood they also tapered their fibreglass. I still have on of their brochure's. The target model was called the "Victorian",One of the huting models was called the " Spartan Hunter' ,And Anotherwith forward mass stabilizer's was called the "Master Hunter" and they also had a Camo 58" one called the "Titan"
