Inherented an old Ben Pearson Special Bow

<< < (2/2)

frank bullitt:
Nice bow, and sorry to say, for you, it is right handed!
Trap is correct on length. These bows were made before AMO. 56" would be length nock to nock.
And yes, 4'10" =58",  which is actually tip to tip measured length.
I know, because I made alot of strings for old bows like this.
Since it was probably standing on end in the closet, when stringing, beware there could be a twist in the limb.
Hope you can find or trade for a lefty, to enjoy this great sport.
Good shooting to ya!

Already put a string on it and no twist! My wife has reclaimed since it belonged to her great aunt. Believe it or not, I now have 'permission ' to buy a trad without selling one of my compounds. Looking forward in the hunt for the bow that feels right for me
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!

COOL! Enjoy the journey!
Have a great day!
Steve
