pearson bow

[james e weaver jr]

My dad came across an old Pearson colt in a friends barn, got it for two bucks.It's a pretty bow.I need to know the string length

[Raineman]

Post the markings on the bow please.

Well, first, we need to know the bow length, measured along the back from nock to nock. I kilt my first deer with a Pearson, back when they were what you bought when you couldn't afford a Bear. Wish I still had it.

[Hot Hap]

I think the Colts were AMO 62". Hap

[Killdeer]

Is it shaped like the one at the bottom here?



If it is, you need a 58" string. I have a soft spot for those bows. I got one 36 years ago. What is the poundage of yours?
