Costmetically Challenged Pearson; Free to Good Home

[George D. Stout]

Okay....I bought this off an auction site.  It's a 66",  RH,  Ben Pearson Javalina, Semi-Recurve,  51# @ 28".  It was scratched and paint chipped...and had some slightly twisted limbs.  I sprayed it with gray and black, and used some arbor vitae for templates to camo.  The limbs are back close to where they belong and it shoots well.

This would make a good learning bow, or even a hunting bow for someone who hasn't the cash to spend on one.  I'll let it up to the Tradgangers to  come up with a recipient..  The bow is very smooth shooting and accurate, and will come with a usable string and a stick-on rest.

Please....it needs to be someone who doesn't have the wherewithal to buy their own bow and really wants to try a recurve.

I've got a 17 year old neighbor's son in mind if it works for you.He will not be able to buy his own bow.He has been shooting with me and I'm taking him to Tannehill shoot this weekend with my borrowed bow.

Pm me if you need some info.

Okay....we'll go ahead and send it to Randy for Josh.
