The Gordon Brothers's Achievements

Because of their innovative thinking and persistence in believing there was always room for improvement in the products they manufactured, Gordon Plastics became the leader in furnishing high quality composite materials at competitive cost to bow manufacturers worldwide.

The Gordon brothers were lifelong hunting and fishing enthusiasts which motivated them to design and build their own line of bows: "Gordon Royal Bows." They named their fiberglass laminate "Standard B0-Tuff". The laminate worked well on recurves and their bow market took off. Their bows performed so well with their fiberglass limbs that bow makers started purchasing Gordon laminates for their lines.

In 1958-59, the Gordon Plastics “Royal Line” of bows included five models:

• The King 67” length - weight: 30 to 55 lbs
