Re: Any Old Ben Pearson Bows out there?
Got me an old 35# Pearson GlassJet bow...learned to shoot with it back in the Sixties...still playing with it today. Shoots as good as it ever did. Will try to post some pix later if anyone is interested. Don't know what you could hunt with it....mebbe rabbits?....but it's sure fun to play with!

Re: Any Old Ben Pearson Bows out there?
As promised.....
Basic shot of the bow
The labeling...
You can faintly see the # rating
It amazes me this bow has been around four decades+ and shoots like I just opened the box.

Another interesting fact about this bow....it was purchased from one of the first Target stores I ever heard of (Minneapolis). Yeah, they used to sell cool stuff back then.....

I'll add my Pearson to the collection here as well.
Ben Pearson Lance Golden Sovereign 58"amo x50# @ 28"
And the repair I need to do because someone screwed a sight into the front at one time and then someone else did a "repair"

Nice bow, Kamn! The older Pearsons are some of the best 'steals' on the planet!

She's a beauty and smooth + with a 49# draw it could be pretty hunter as well
Im eyeballing a few other Pearsons but have to tame myself

Re: Any Old Ben Pearson Bows out there?
Well, my wife just called and was asking what I was up to, so I told her Im just sitting at the computer reading and she asks if I have bought anything "new"...........so i told her about a another Shakespeare that fell into my hands thinking she might be a little uneasy with me purchasing more, but I should know better......she was happy for me and says "hey, at least its not a pile of motorcycles that we don't have space for" HA!
