Sweet! The Pearson Mercs are some of the most overlooked classics ever built.

Great shooting bows and really high level of craftsmanship and finish. I had a 1965 lefty Lady Mercury factory custom, no serial number or specs: 55#, black glass on belly and back. Shot rockets and was very steady in hand.

I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

i wonder where they lost the 4"(/8") making the 62" Lady from a 66"(/70") Lord.
Limbs, riser or both?

Sweet looking bows and I bet they were very stable.
