Bear Target recurve find.......

I was told by a buddy that he had some old recurves laying around and he and I frequently hit his private club/lake to fish and hunt hogs or deer, usually midweek for a day or so as it's really close to Dallas. So he brings out this old Bear 64" bow for me last time. Can someone ID it for me and estimate its value? I need to string it and clean it up of course.....

Well actually, he brought out a Ben Pearson bow with a Bear brush rest on it. Any photos of the inside upper limb? Or the catalog number on the side of the riser? It looks like a Palomino, but may be another model.

Hey George I could not find a single mark on it. I will re-inspect.

Maybe it was refinished at one time....it's definitely a Ben Pearson, and I would almost bet it's the Palomino model. Let us know if you can see any marks at all. They are sweet shooters, by the way...not a bad find at all.

Some of the old bear target bows had sights built in the riser.

Its a Palomino, 99% for sure. The white wood in the riser is holly and if its yellowed its the finish, not the wood itself. The other wood is walnut.
The Palomino was Pearson bowyer Ben Mullikin's favorite Pearson bow.
"...It was one of the best shooting recurves we ever put on the market,..."

I'm pretty sure George is dead on, I know I've never seen a Bear like that.
