The CVs had a deflex handle, either 17 or 22 degrees of reflex. With that in mind, I'd put good money that your bow is a modified Golden Conqueror.

CV,, by the way, stood for "Custom Velocity".

I took her out to the range last week.

the bow shot quietly..just a low *thrum* after the shot. The slim grip feels better in the hand than the Pearson Cougar. The bow is not a rocket, but I was shooting heavy ash shafts.

I took a full draw pic at home:

I always noticed that the strung profile of mine was very reminiscent of Jack Howard's original Gamemaster. It makes me wonder if Pearson was trying to duplicate the performance of what was then a very high-end custom bow. I'm sick as a dog today, and it's raining outside, but maybe when conditions dictate I'll get a picture of the two side by side so you can see what I'm looking at. The length difference is obvious, but the strung profile is really similar. CKruse
