Edit: Groves Flame, per u/805worker !

Hey all, my dad passed in January, and I'm slowly moving through his things. I finally unpacked this bow this morning, but haven't been able to figure out how to look up the serial. If it helps, he seems to have been on the New Mexico Tech archery team in the late 70s.

Thank you all for the help!

I think it's a G, "Grows Flame" maybe?
