Another Ben Pearson Mustang refurbish job
« on: December 01, 2007, 08:38:00 AM »
Hi All,

Today I finished another Ben Pearson Mustang refurbishing job.
The backing of the bow has an artificial snake skin pattern glued on the limbs, new tips and an overlay of white glass and bacote.
The bow is 58" with a 38# pull @28". Let's hear what you guys think of this one.

Apex Predator: I bought the snake skin pattern at Rudderbows. It's printed fabrics and I use a thin epoxy glue to fix it to the limbs.
I have a refurbish build along of an earlier Mustang on my web-site.

Nice bow. I'm a big fan of the Ben Pearson Mustang also. I own several of them, and I think that they are one of the better shooting bows of that period. I refinished one, but never removed the dark stain. I have at least two that need refinishing so I may just have to try removing some of the dark stain on the riser.

Thanks for the inspiration!
