I scored this past weekend at a discount store. Found a beautiful Ben Pearson Hunter recurve, brown glass, 58" amo, 45lb at 28". It is the Hunter 709. The other numbers are 09-......
It had an ever so slight limb twist but I took care of that.
Also picked up an original box with 5 original in good shape arrows and 5 arrows that needed to be re-done.
50 bucks.
Anyone know when the bow was made? I am getting years from 62 to 66 is this correct?
Thanks
I believe the Hunter model was made 1965 thru 1968. They were nice looking Zebrawood.
Model "709" was 65-67 and "7090" was 68+
I have two of them, one which is a 709 brown glass. I believe the 65 was black, 66 was green, 67 brown 68 green, and 69 black.
Very nice shooters and 50 bucks was a steal. They are starting to gain some value now that people have gotten some of the bear poo out of their eyes LOL.
