Unknown Bow, any ideas
« on: August 06, 2010, 01:23:00 PM »
I picked this one up recently. Not much about it no markings. It is all wood, looks like static tips, pretty narrow grip.

The tips have a wedge in them. Bow is 62" or so

any ideas on the maker?

Looks like an old PenPearson "Deerslayer" or "Ole Ben", 'cept that I think those or longbows.  

Any numbers on the limbs like a catalog number>

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

Nothing unless it is under the grip. If the grip is not original I would take it off but UI would rather leave it on,

Ben Pearson Deerslayer. I think they were hickory, and that is the original grip.

Pearson had a line of wood bows that included the Deerslayer, Sherwood and the Old Hickory.
 
The Deerslayer and the Sherwood were 66" bows and the Old Hickory was 60" with the hardwood inlay in the tips.

The ones I have are missing and stickers or decals they may have once sported but one still has a model/weight stamp 500-30
