Which pearson recurve?
« on: July 06, 2014, 08:15:00 PM »
I was thinking about picking up a used pearson from the auction site for my son in law to use for now. There are lots of them there for not a lot of money. I don't want to spend too much incase he doesn't to stick with Trad. archery. Which models would be the best to look for?

Hunter, Palimino and Javalina are three good bows.

Pearson Deerslayer Special (sometimes marked only "Special") are nice basic 58" recurves.  Their length is typically marked 4'-10" on one of the limbs.  I think they are an older model than the Hunter.  I've got 2 of them-- one is 43# and the other is 47#.  I haven't gotten around to shooting the 47# one, but the 43# one zips an arrow pretty fast for a 43# bow.

The Pearson Cougar is fairly common on the auction site, and is a nice basic model.  Most Cougars are 62" AMO length.  Pearson made these from I think the late 1950s into the 1970s, and the style changed over the years.  I'd look for later-model one.

The later-model 62" Pearson Colt is another nice basic model.  They made the Colt for a lot of years-- the earlier ones are really beginner bows, but the later-model ones are 62" AMO length and have larger contoured risers.

Tarponnut has a Pearson Special in the tradbow section here.I can testify to it being a good shooter with pretty grain.
50#er might be a little heavy though.

The Colts are nice. Longer, at 62", and the ones I have had were very smooth shooters.

I like the colt, hunter, mustang or palomino. Love the zebrawood on the hunter.

One vote for the Cougar they're as common as Bear Grizzly's and good shooters almost always reasonably priced and some models have a good looking off-colored sight window.

As mentioned above, Hunter, Colt, Mustang, Stallion, Palimino, Javelina. Another, less common, that I wish I'd held onto is the Renegade. BPH52 and Mach-One are nice shorties.
