Post by: Ryan Scott on March 02, 2008, 10:02:00 PM

Hey guys I bought this bow last year. I havent a clue to what make and model it is. The guy I bought it off of said that it was painted camo and when it was cleaned all the markings came off of it. I know it is 60" and 50# @ 28" Thanks in advance Ryan

Looks about like a BP Colt. But I thought they were all 62". Hap

Hap nailed it. Ben Pearson Colt. But I think they only made the Colt 60" in 1962-63, and I don't think they had that profile. That riser wood,limb color, and stabilizer insert would put it late 60's-early '70's in my mind, but they were 62".

No mistaking that profile though. You sure about the 60"?

I thought that the colt had a medallion embedded in it?

1. No medallion on the Colt.

2. How are you measuring?

It looks like a BP Colt or Stallion to me.

The Stallion had tip overlays, the Colt did not.

I just compared it to a 60" bow and it is about 4" more (both strung) way more then 2"

It looks like a Ben Pearson Javalina that I once had.
