Ok guys, thanks for the help on my last one, but I've got another mystery bow on my hands...I know the brand of it, its a Ben Pearson, and it is 62 inches nock to nock, and has Cat. # 975, it has serial number 0-1466, and it pulls 55 lbs. This bow has a "cinnamon" glass facing and backing, with a shedua and some light ( really yellowish) vertical wood laminations in the riser... on the lower limb it has Ben Pearson in yellow, with an arrow running horizontally thru it  (in white). Below that it has some faded letters (which I can't seem to read)(but probably tell the name of the bow)...and below that it has a picture of a running horse (also in yellow)...any ideas?

975= Mustang

seriously??? The letters are faded, but I can make out several that aren't in "mustang"...

Yeah Seriously. This stuff is not that hard. with MINIMAL effort you can find things out. Go to google and google Pearson 975. Guess what comes up. About 100 links of guys saying I have a Ben Pearson Mustang Model 975 and i was wunderin...

It's that easy to find out it's a Mustang. Now you need to look at AMO colors, glass etc to determine year made and you still have not provided us a picture of your first bow or this second one.

If there are letters on the bow that you can make out that are not in the word "mustang" what are they? That would have helped.

Heck I just went to the auction site and put in pearson 975. Guess what came up. A Ben Pearson Mustang for sale.

It's really that easy.

[P.W.Smith]

They are the letters "I" and "H" for one, and for another thing I'm not trying to insult you, and I'll try to get pictures up - oh and I'm sorry, I just am fairly inexperienced at looking up bows and don't know where to start???
Thanks,
derek

oh and I just looked up the one on #*$# and it was nothing like my bow...

That just means its a different year than yours. Its amazing how different the same model bow can look from 1 year to the next. Start doing searches on Pearson Mustang and you will eventually find one that looks like yours.

There was a good site called archeryarchives.com that really helped out with Pearsons, but now wevrytime I go to it, my scurity software tells me there is a virus there.

Palamino? And I like the tile.
After further revue, it is a mustang.

It's a mustang.  The lettering is stylized, but you can make out the similarities.

ok...thanks guys!

ok...not trying to sound disrespectful, but I'm just trying to learn. I don't have a lifetime of experience/resources to fully and definatively ID bows...(I'm only 16...) and am fairly new to collecting bows, so I'm just "getting to know" what bows are/aren't and would just like some help because of your combined knowledge bases. I'm not trying to sound doubtful, its just that I learn by "hands-on", and this is the best way for me to do that...
Derek

[Migra Bill]

No hard feelings. I was just trying to point out that if you really learn by "hands on" - it's not hard to google what we say rather than question it.

[tyee]

okay I have to chime in here am 32 been collecting archery gear for 16 years that would have made me sixteen when I started. I got my drivers license and away I went to every swap meet I could go to. Best find? About one dozen sportsmans broadheads! Original thunderbirds, mickey finns. So I was fortunate living here in tacoma I could drive up show what I found to Joe St. Charles He could Id it for me. Now I know we have the internet and maybe this kid is so into archery he is not some cyber geek who  can surf the web with ease, I am just learning, too Dekek. Google? I thought that was teenage boys looking at girls until a year ago. My point is Dekek is a kid he deserve our patients lets foster a future archery historian's passion. He will be here passing it on long after many of us are done. Derek you dont get off the hook either I have always said to youngsters if you ask someone a question you best look listen and shut up these fellas know a thing or two. They wont steer you wrong

ok...
