Title: Any Info on this old Ben Pearson bow please.
Post by: K.S.TRAPPER on March 18, 2012, 09:40:00 PM

I have this old fiberglass Ben Pearson bow and not sure when it was made. It's in pretty ruff shape I know but there's no other writing on it other then Ben's name.

They came in green also. A guess on the year is early 60's. They are collectable and are often found in the box as the box was small.

I don't miss SHOOTING those old brown and green fiberglass bows by BP, but Lord I miss those days, and the excitement (if not the performance) I got from them.  Thanks for sharing.
