Old bows are great.  They have stood the test of time.

The cougar is a simi recurve so you won't get the benefit of a full working recurve, but it is a good solid shooter. All  Ben Pearson bows are highly under rated.  They are a lot better than people give them credit for.  

Sorry...I know nothing about Bradshaw bows.

I owned 2 Bradshaws. They were a couple of my favorite shooting vintage bows.
Gorgeous too. Sold both on the big auction, made good money.
