For Will - My Ben Pearson bows

[newhunterette]

sorry it took me so long to post these for ya Will, not even sure how the pics look but here ya go

"the cougar" bow belonged to my Mom - she gave it to me when I showed a small interest in Bow shoots

"the hunter" bow belonged to my Dad - he gave it to Peter to us when he began bow hunting and since he passed away my Mom said it belonged to me to pass down into the family

as far as I know these bows are from the 50's

Peter found pulling the Ben Pearson bow quite easy at 50# - 55# so he decided to move up to a different recurve and bought a take down bow for easier hiking - this is his bow 65#

Will, if you get a chance May long weekend there is a TBBC event in Keremeos - Peter and I did this trip one year with our kids to the bow shoot - it was so much - great for kids and your wife - lots of ladies there to talk with and learn about bow shooting - if we can make it this year (around Peter's fishing trips) we will be there

I think JT has more information about it.
