Vintage Ben Pearson?

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.

Interesting...

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

yep, .... appeared in '89 & '91 catalogues & poss. later ones

7325 Raider in '87 looks same shape but made with braz rosewood & pearsonite.

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)
