Title: Ben Pearson Hunter
Post by: SELFBOW19953 on April 22, 2009, 07:58:00 PM

I have a Pearson Hunter with a zebra wood "handle".  They made the Hunter with the 3 digit model number '709' for 3 years, '65-'67.  The '66 has green glass, the other 2 have brown glass.  The only difference I have found in the description of them is the '65 has a "modified-pistol grip", the '67 has a "pistol grip".  Would someone please explain the difference between a pistol grip and a modified pistol grip? A comparison to another bow would be a big help.

Thanks.

Phil

Here is the grip from a 1968 BP Hunter 7090,
listed as a pistol grip.

Thanks, Don.  Guess I've got a '67.
