Vintage Ben Pearson?
« on: December 17, 2021, 07:28:48 AM »
Greetings. I recently acquired 3 piece take down bow for I think is a decent price at an estate sale. The lower limb suggests that it is a Ben Pearson bow, but there isn’t I really a model name that I can identify.  I do not see a lot 3 piece take down Ben Pearson bows when I search for such a bow on the cyber. Can any Ben Pearson experts help?  Thanks!

Maybe a 7330 Traditionalist ~'91 ?

Hard to make out if the riser is shedua or maple lams?

I thought the 7330 was a two piece take-down.

I can find only the most sparse info on it compared to the early model 7330

It definitely has the look of the 7330 Traditionalist. Ever own or shoot one?

not owned or shot one of these
.... I've got a BPH60 which looks like the "Legendary Hunter" but longer at 60"

don't really see too many BP bows here in UK, I've got a few:
Colt, Palomino, Lord Mercury, Centurion, BPH60, Model 210 (compound)
