Pearson Cougar added to the stable
« on: January 08, 2011, 08:57:00 PM »
Picked up a 1969 Pearson Cougar at a Pawn shop. They guy wanted $80.00 two weeks ago and dropped it to $59.00. I got him down to $25.00. 40 lb / good shape / no twists / Bubinga wood with brown glass. One tip had a fiberglass flake but I repaired it in 30 minutes. I am sanding it down for a restoration project to keep me busy at home.

Good buy! I never shot a Pearson I didn't like and at that price you can't go wrong.
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

It had some glass flakeing on the edge of one of the tips and I did the old "damaged tip no thanks" and the guy said well make me an offer.
Fixed the glass with some Loctite. I will post some picks when I get it finished. It has a flat shelf and I was thinking about putting a radius on it.
