I know the 40# is for pounds of pull, but what does the rest mean, and is this a good bow for hunting, or is it more for target use.
Any value in these old ones?
I was curious how to determine the length of arrow it should use.
I would like to buy some practise ones first.
First off, check to make sure there is no cracks or the limbs are delaminating or twisted,the string is okay, the bow is proable more than 20 years old and it dependes how well it was stored.Won't want to see you getting hurt if the limbs broke.If your unsure as what to look for, take it to a repputuable shop { Boorman's} to get it checked.
Serial #, string length, 40# at 28 inches of draw.
If you draw 28" a 2016 aluminium will do fine, if you draw more a 2018 will also work., but you will need a minimum of 40# at your draw to hunt with.
I now a couple of guys with a pearson recurve and they shoot real nice.
Good luck and happy shooting.
Go to the Pearson web site and e-mail them, they could proable tell you how old it is.
