Title: Ben Pearson Apex Bows
Post by: SkookumDon on March 03, 2016, 11:00:00 AM

Does anyone know if the quality/production of the BP Apex branded bows were the same as the regular Pearsons? Many look identical, and I wonder if it was simply a rebranding or if there really was a difference in how they were crafted? Thanks.

My understanding is the Apex brand of Pearson bows were just the same as the others, but with plainer wood.  I believe they were intended for schools, clubs, etc. where the emphasis was on quantity.  

Quality remained high, but the Apex bows were just not as "flashy."
