Title: Pearson bow, Howard Hill archery decal
Post by: Sal on June 27, 2011, 01:25:00 AM

Can somebody give me more info on these bows?  I saw one this weekend, it was unmistakeably a pearson from the early sixties, but the decal was for Howard Hill archery.  I'm assuming that at some point in the early sixties they were commissioned by Howard Hill archery.  It was an inexpensive youth model.

Hi Sal
I find Ben Pearson adds from the mid 50's showing Howard Hill endorsing Mr. Pearson's bows. There are some BP collector's here who perhaps can provide more specifics.   (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery476.jpg)

I have one of those bows with an advertising blurb similar to the above. It is a 55# bow that shoots fine, although it is not a Kodiak by any means.
