Need Some Help

[kevinleclair]

So little story, and I hope this is the correct location to post this.  I was going through my grand parents house after they passed away and found this bow, I was hoping that someone could help me figure out how old it is, and some information on it.  Thanks For your help   PHOTOS

It's made from the late 50's to early 60's, but cannot be more specific...

Late '50's early '60's Ben Pearson Stallion Semi-recurve.

As the nomenclature states, it is 66" long.  and 55# @ 28" draw.

It was a really good hunting bow in it's day.  If it is in solid shape it should still be a good shooter.  String it up easily and test the draw a little at a time, listening for any strange creaking, groaning, or cracking sounds.

If it stays together without making bad sounds, you can then try to shoot it.

Just remember to NEVER shoot it without an arrow nocked up.

You have a keeper, and probably a decent shooter.
