Ben Pearson take down help

[badgerben]

Hey All,

I just found an old Ben Pearson take down in my fathers shed. It is in the original case. It is a 45lb 28" draw. A couple of questions??
What kind and size string do i need? What kind of arrows should I get for it? I would love to practice with it and see If I can shoot something with it in the future. thanks Ben

What kind and size string do i need?

12-14 strands of dacron (B-55, B-500, or B-50). Endless or flemish will work just fine. Tne string length will depend on the bow length, which should be marked.

What kind of arrows should I get for it?

Depends on your draw length, point weight, etc. You can shoot aluminum, carbon, or wood, but be sure to get them heavy enough (mass weight) to avoid damaging the bow.

Congrats on the find! I really like the old Pearson bows.
