Ben Pearson Hunter
« on: February 20, 2011, 06:52:00 PM »
I have a Ben Pearson hunter which I inherited from from my father.  I guess the bow is close to 50 years old.  It is 45 at 28 inch draw.  I need to know what the brace height may be for this bow.  Any information would be appreciated.

Try 7 1/2-8" and I think you'll be right in the ball park.Post a picture if you can I'd like to see it.
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

Just checked mine and it's at 7-5/8".  Shooting smooth and quiet.

The Ben Pearson Hunter (Model 709), was made from 1965-67. Mine's a '65.  The first number of the serial is the last digit of the year it was made.  Brace height should be between 7 3/4" - 8 1/2". Riser is zebrawood with brown glass on the limbs. Suggested selling price was $50. In 1968 the model number was changed to 7090
