What about a Bear 76er Recurve Custom Take Down Bow?
It's decribed as I don't know what "a pin" means in terms of archery.
Is there much difference in older technology, versus today's tech?

An older bow is more likely to be heavier than a modern bow. It is more important than you might think. Another important consideration with old fiberglass limbs is that they weaken over time and deform inconsistently. This isn't always true of course but can be.

Draw length isn't something that be be toyed with. Have your friend get measured. You can pick up some bad habits shooting bows that are undersized or over sized.
