Title: Need a recurve restorer bowyer
Post by: Bud B. on July 23, 2016, 11:02:00 AM
What I want to do might not be doable, but I have a nice Ben Pearson zebrawood riser for which I would like new limbs installed. A long shot, I know, but the 709s fit my hand well and this zebrawood is too good to give up on, yet. The current limbs are toast.

If you are a bowyer who might try this or know of one, pleae chime in.

Unless someone is already making replicas of at particular bow (and even still) it would be a lot more work to repair that bow than to build a new one.

A good bowyer can make you a custom grip to match your desires, and zebra wood is not terribly expensive.

Alternatively you could just buy another Ben Pearson off of the auction site

Don't mean to be a buzzkill.

I knew it was a stretch, but if you don't ask, you will never know.

I have two more LH shooter 709s, just seeing if someone might want to tackle this. Or knows of someone who could.

No buzzkill.
