Pearson Pinto hunting model
« on: November 14, 2013, 08:05:00 PM »
I just couldn't help but do this.  I like the way it shoots too much not to hunt it.  These are Onestringer limbsations.

Strike plate is traced off a Deadhead.  66" marked xx45#.

I am looking forward to hunting this bow late season.

Can anyone approximate the year this bow was made?  I don't know much about Pearsons but I do know this one is a great shooter!

Mid '60's

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

I can approximate by saying mid 1960's (1966?), but I bet someone can be more specific.  I love those old multi-colored Pintos.

I would agree on 1964. I bought one that year from Wards catalog. I think it was about $35. Mine was 55#at 28 in. It was a good shooter even with my miss matched arrows. The bow got damaged when my mom moved while I was in Viet nam.

Thank you for the great information!

Based on this it would be a 1966 then.

I know a fair amount about Bear bows, especially Grizzlys but this opens a new world to learn about.

It has a few dings but that just makes it perfect to hunt.  I have found I would prefer that bows carry their history with them, like we do, vs a complete refinish.

set the range high score last year with a 1966 pinto that I refinished , but sold it later should have kept that one it was 50# , good shooting bows hang on to yours. Curt
