Title: Bow ID....Please.
Post by: SimpleMan on October 29, 2010, 08:38:00 AM

I'm new to the trad scene and have been reading posts EVERY day.  Awsome site and have learned a ton from you guys.

I hope you guys can help me out.  I have a bow that I obtained from my dad, but can't make out who manufactured it.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My other bow is a yard sale find and is a sweet little Ben Pearson Gamester.  Paid a whole $10 for it and it is in new condition.  You guy's great posts have given me fantastic advice and have helped enhance my experience with my new toys.

thanks all for the excellent info.  The finish on the wood seems to be a little thin.  What would be a good product to put on it to help protect it?
