Title: Need help identifying bow
Post by: trick00 on October 30, 2016, 07:49:00 PM
This bow was recently given to me, all I know is that it measures about 63", and is about 60#. The guy who gave it to me put the paintjob on it and thinks it may be a Ben Pearson.

Might be some great wood under that paint depending on what year she was made.
