Title: Help with info on an old bow.
Post by: lpcjon2 on June 23, 2010, 03:51:00 PM
I just found an old recurve at a consignment shop for $10.00 I would like some info on it if you can help.It's a Ben Pearson Colt 707 62" this is on the bottom limb.And below the handle it has 07-16353,and under that is 45XX #_ 28". So is it worth anything?I will probably just wall hang it for the decor aspect,It looks like a heavy bow-fat riser and a long shelf very beefy looking bow.The upper limb is warped a little.    :dunno:

I know for a fact that it's worth at least $10 dollars....lol

Sometimes I just need muzzling...lol

God bless,Mudd

PS: If it's in good condition it would be a good deal but if you're thinking that you found a bow that's anywhere close to the value of something like a Black Widow. Sorry, it's not but still a good deal especially if you can string and shoot it safely.

You see a few on e*** - they usually go for around $50.00 - $100.00 depending upon the condition.  I would of bought it for $10.00!

This a video of my son shooting a Colt 707.  2 years ago, I paid $115 for my son's Colt. You tell me what it is worth?

Scroll down the page until you get to the video.

Matt, the one you have looks a lot better than the one I have.It still will look good on the wall.

 I also got a longbow($5.00) that I have to post pics of it.It has no markings but it looks cool and old.The limb is bent,looks like they stood it in the corner for a long time.I will post pics later.Thanks guys.
