Sears glass bow
« on: July 31, 2011, 08:43:00 PM »
I bought a bow at an estate auction yesterday.It is 62" 50# 28 ". The only markings on it are Sears 50#. I'm thinking these were made by Ben Pearson Archery. Anyone know for sure? I put a string on it this afternoon and couldn't believe how good it shot. I've got a Ben Pearson that looks about like it that my dad bought for me in 1961.

I'm not positive but I think Ben Pearson  and Indian made bows for Sears.  Maybe a expert will chime in on this.

I've got one that Sears sold and it's a Pearson and a laminated recurve. Mine says Special Hunter I believe. It's a 62" 52# with brown glass and as you said it's a real good shooter. They also sold Bears under the Sears name even Super Kodiaks, I belive they called it a Supreme.

Bear also made some bows for Sears.  Usually the same design as their main line of bows, with a lesser grade of wood, and a different nake.  The "Flicker" (sic) comes to mind.

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

Sears
GLASS POWERED
Flicker
by Bear

No "sic" necessary. The Bears that I have seen that were made for Sears were named for birds. There are two Flickers here, don't ask me why. Both are 45#@28".

Flicker and raven were two that come to mind. Both were solid shooters.. Great find.

Usually the bows made by bear for the department stores did have a bear marking on them. The bows made by pearson and indian just had the department store logo or name on them. Sounds like yours is a pearson or indian bow.

The only thing on this one is Sears 50#. It is solid glass and a off white color with molded plastic grip, RH. Thanks for the information guys.

I've owned a couple Sears "Hawk" made by Bear, they looked identical to the form the Black Panther Hunter they made for Kmart I believe? Similar to the K-mag @ 52"amo.
