Anyone here fancy shooting, searching with or gathering the 60’s Ben Pearson recurve bows? We saw one in about perfect condition throughout the week-end at a little nondescript junk store right right right here in Portland..50..about 56″ for 50.00.. nearly got it myself but simply do not require another bow. ) Jim
A Ben is had by me Pearson Colt 62″ – 50@28. A new come personallyr Vancouver escort service to me shot it several times. This has a handle that is different then virtually any bow We have.
Pete, My memory fails me personally about this an individual’s title..maybe GAMESTER? Red glass from the back..no tip overlays..no string but right without the blemishes.All it takes is a little of cleaning-wax and a brand new sequence.
It absolutely was shorter..56-58″ I think..Not a Colt or some of the 70’s Pearson rcurve names We readily recognized.Jim
We additionally have Ben Pearson “Colt 62″ 56 & 28” however it is overweight for me personally to shoot now. 10-12 years back it was a story that is different. We dropped 9 and from now on i could shoot like We familiar with 10-12 years back.
I have got a few, the best is really a LH Equalizer 48″AMO (about 42″ strung) 50 @ 28″. We have a signature TD that is 2pc do not take care of the grip/shelf about it. I actually do like shooting all the Pearsons.
Simply came in from shooting my Ben Pearson Mustang and saw this thread. It was bought by me brand brand new in 1963. The serial is 16-633 so i suppose it’s a 1963 model. It really is 64″ and it is 46 @ 28. It is pulled by me 29. It really is a great shooting bow and places them where you’re searching.
The 1963 Mustang had glass that is red Sailor, together with catalog quantity 975 about it.
return back and purchase it u can offer it at the next occasion u get to maby pay money for gasoline they truly are great bows I prefer them well
First for the Gamester was 1970, and it was a 56″ bow year. In 1973 it went along to a 54″ bow. It had been detailed to own Ebony Pearsonite Glass, but I do not have the 71 or 72 information, so that it might have had glass that is red some of those years.
Well, I took place and visited the fellow that is old has got the junk store this AM..I HATE IT WHEN the MEMORY FAILS. )
The bow is Ben Pearson ‘GAMESTER’..and beneath that 7388
Ebony cup straight right back & face.Maple lams.
3 piece bubinga riser with maple accents between.
Suggestion overlays are bubinga..
marked BW-8501 56″ X50@28″. I do believe it is from about 1970 or thereabouts.. Took several bowstrings along and braced it and it’s also dead-nuts straight..Jim
Just washed up a Ben Pearson Rouge, fresh camo task, and a unique Bear seven arrow quiver. Retro arrows on top of that. 45@28
George..You are proper in regards to the black colored fiberglas that are pearsonite. ) Anyhow..I paid 35.00 for this therefore are in possession of another bow that can help an archer that is new started.. Shucks an other can scarcely give a 35.00 recurve in fine condition. )
Simply have to produce a sequence it up and redo the arrow plate-shelf a tad.Jim for it and wax

I’ve a 62″ 50 Colt, and merely got a few weeks ago, a Hunter, 58″ and 55. Additionally, i obtained my grandson a Bronco, 48″ and 24. It appears like We shoot these much better than other people I possess.
Oh, i’ve a 60″ 40 Pony also. I do not shoot this frequently; in reality it’s loaned out right now.
I’d a 45er and extremely liked it. Want i really could stumble upon a 50. $50.00? I would purchase it.
Well..for those of you that don’t read well. I DID SO purchase the Pearson that is old 1970 ‘Gamester’ for $35.00.
Appears just like a number of the bows i purchased brand brand new when you look at the late 60’s for twice that plus shipping.Reminds me personally regarding the Brownng anbd Bear smaller bows f that period.
