Anyone here fancy shooting, searching with or gathering the 60’s Ben Pearson recurve bows? We saw one out of about perfect condition within the week-end at a tiny junk that is nondescript 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 comer to me shot it once or twice. It’s a various handle setup then every other bow We have.
Pete, My memory fails me personally with this a person’s title..maybe GAMESTER? Red glass in the straight straight straight back..no tip overlays..no string but directly 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 in my situation to shoot now. 10-12 years back it had been a story that is different. We dropped 9 and today I’m able to shoot like We accustomed 10-12 years back.
I got a couple of, the best is just a LH Equalizer 48″AMO (about 42″ strung) 50 @ 28″. i’ve a signature TD that is 2pc do not look after the grip/shelf upon it. I actually do like shooting all of the Pearsons.
Simply arrived in from shooting my Ben Pearson Mustang and saw this thread. It was bought by me new in 1963. The serial is 16-633 so i suppose it really is a 1963 model. Its 64″ and it is 46 @ 28. We pull it 29. It’s a shooting that is great and places them in which you’re searching.
The 1963 Mustang had glass that is red Sailor, along with catalog quantity 975 about it.
return back and purchase it u can offer it during the event that is next go to maby pay money for gasoline they truly are great bows I love them well
First 12 months for the Gamester ended up being 1970, and it also was a 56″ bow. In 1973 it decided to go to a 54″ bow. It had been detailed to own Ebony Pearsonite Glass, but I do not have the 71 or 72 information, therefore it might have had glass that is red one particular 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 DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. )
The bow is Ben Pearson ‘GAMESTER’..and beneath that 7388
Ebony cup straight straight 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 brand new Bear seven arrow quiver. Retro arrows on top of that. 45@28
George..You are proper concerning the black Pearsonite fiberglas. ) Anyhow..I paid 35.00 because of it therefore currently have another bow that can help a brand new archer have started.. Shucks a other can barely spread a 35.00 recurve in fine condition. )
Only have to

We have a 62″ 50 Colt, and simply got a month or more 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 have.
Oh, i’ve a 60″ 40 Pony too. I do not shoot this frequently; in reality it’s loaned away right now.
I experienced 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. USED TO DO purchase the old Pearson 1970 one thing ‘Gamester’ for $35.00.
