Title: Pearson Spoiler Info???
Post by: Rick Wiltshire on July 17, 2008, 07:40:00 PM

I just picked up a Pearson Spoiler 7152. It has black glass and a black wood sandwiched between brown in the riser.  

Does anyone have any info on the bow???

Thanks,

Rick

Made 1973 thru 1977. The handle is Marblewood, the brace height is 7 to 8 1/2 and the glass was called black Pearsonite.

Thanks guys I appreciate the info.

I see that the bow was only produced for 5 years.  Were there some issues with the bow for its short run or was it just not a good seller?

The Pearson catalogs kind of petered out after 1977. The bow may have been made for a couple years after 1977 but just was not in the catalogs. The catalogs did not have much in them after 1977. I believe it is a 73-77 and they were good short hunting bows and nice lookers as well. The Rogue was another model that falls into the same time frame. You have a good bow and it should be a good shooting treestand bow for you. Not one to take to the range and shoot 50 targets with unless of course you are more macho than most. Anyhow a good little bow that packs a nice little punch as well.
