Brace Height for Ben Pearson?
« on: April 18, 2008, 10:23:00 AM »
A very nice Ben Pearson BP-H52 landed in my hands and I was wondering about the brace height?
It was at about 61/2 and I was getting some wrist slap so I went to about 71/4 and the bow seem to shoot just fine. An accurate brace height would be nice.

Also what say you the value of the bow?  Its very nice zebra wood, ##45 @ 28.  52inches.  I can't decide if I'm going to keep it, trade it for a longbow, or sell it.

Is That a Recurve, or LongBow? Are there any Tiny Stress Fractures In Or Between the Fiberglass Laminations?

Its a 52inch recurve so far I have not seen any stress fractures but I would have to take a closer look to give you a full answer, just shot the bow yesterday for the first time, so I have not had it very long.

Thanks trapperDave, I thought I was getting close on the brace and the value is about what I was thinking too.  Also thanks on the list now I know its a Ben Pearson Hawk.  

Still not sure what to do with it, I'll most likely  take it to our local big shoot this year and see what I can get in trade for it, if I don't pass it on there I'll either keep or put it up for sell/trade.
