Fasco Bows

     The Fasco archery company started in 1957. The company was founded by three men, Russ Fogerty, Willy Alvares and      Charlie Smith. The name of the company came from the first letter of each man's last name and CO. added at the end.
    In 1960 they sold the company to Emitt Ries, during this time FASCO bows were produced with beautiful wood carving.
    If you have one of these bows with basket weave or oakleaf carving or ivory in ebony inlay, you have a prize. The company     was sold again in 1962 to Seattle Archery. Fasco recurve bows were listed in the 1977 Seattle Archery catalog, but by the     1979  catalog all recurve bows had been dropped. As a side note in 1964 the Fasco Archery division of Seattle Archery Co.     bought Drake Archery. Harry Drake retained the flight bow manufacture part of Drake Archery. Fasco manufactured the     Fire-Drake, Hunter-Flight and Shark bows.
