LH 66#@28" Ben Pearson special Longbow for sale

#1 Post by waynerob » Mon Mar 16, 2009 4:36 pm

I sort of inherited this bow a few years back and have been looking for a left hander ever since.

A Ben Pearson Special for Abbey Archery in 1983, no 23 of 40. It has only been lightly used, and is in much better condition than most bows of this age. There are a couple of marks in the riser where the varnish has been scraped, and a few scratches particularly near the nocks, but no crazing in the resin that I can see. The arrow rest and back plate show almost no wear. Have a look at the photos below, I've tried to show all the markings.

I used to have a 50# right hander, a very smooth bow to use. I sold it a few years ago to buy a stick. :wink:

It was going for $320, if you are interested, let me know. Location is Blaxland in the lower Blue Mountains.

How long is the bow?

Interesting bow. I can't go to the Blaxland anytime soon, but I would be willing to pay postage. Can we negotiate the price, though? Also, how long is it?
