How to Tell the Age of a Mathews Compound Bow
- 1). Pick up the Mathews bow. Turn it so you can see the handle/grip on the shaft side of the bow --- the nonstringed side.
- 2). Read the serial number plate found at the edge of the grip. Write down the serial number and the date stamp. The date stamp will tell you the age of the bow.
- 3). Check out the underside of the bow shaft toward the top pulley on some models to find the serial number and date stamp.
