VINTAGE BEN PEARSON RECURVE BOWS 45 POUND COUGAR R/H 706 06-2623 45 POUND 28 INCHE DRAW $85
This is the only description I have for this bow. I was hoping if someone could tell me if this is a reasonable price? Thanks fellas.

Sounds high for a Cougar.
You can get Cougars all day long on e8ay for less than that including $20 shipping.
I would call it a $40 bow.
The Cougar is a plain Jane semi=recurve that was an affordable shooter in the '60's.
Nothing really stallar about them
Condition is very important and without pictures it is hard to put a number on it.
Go to e8ay and searc for one in the comp;lested items section. You will see what others have sold for
keep in mind that this is one guys opinion.. Others may differ.

I'm not a Cougar fan either (Go Huskies! :D ). However, they are not bad shooters and for someone's first bow or for one on a tight budget, it will do.
Add another $20 and you can find Bear Grizzlies that are far superior.

Still think $84 is too high

to high.

The last 10 Courgars on **** went $21.50 to $110.00
with the average going for $55.91.
$55.00 is about what I would think the average Cougar is worth

Thanks a lot guys. I've got an older kodiak t/d handed down from my dad but I was looking for a "beater" to take bowfishin' and whatnot so I don't have to take the kodiak anymore. Speaking of the Kodiak: can anyone help me put a year to it? It is a Custom Kodiak T/D with B-5567 on the lower riser. I have no idea.

You have the right guys on this thread to answer your question about the t/d. For bow fishin your right , find a beater your comfortable with. Thanks for info.

I believe that would be a green stripe riser mid to late 80's probally the tiger riser which looks more like multi stripes or layers of wood. But if has multi colors of purple, brown and maple showing it would be early 80's to mid 80's. You might ask the gang on a post as they can get pretty close be serial #

Well done sir!!! It does have the green stripe running through the riser, however that is the only color besides brown.
