RE: pearson bows
I haven't shot a pride, but used to shoot for Pearson so am familiar with the Bio-grip if that is your main question.
This is a grip configuration that more bow companies should adopt. When you first shoot one it'll feel a little awkward, but the more you shoot it the more it feels more natural. No more having to turn your hand out at 45 degrees to get a proper grip.
When I shot one I even turned my hand out more which just gave more arm clearance from the string. Some huys never do adjust well to this grip, but I had no problems with it at all. I shot the Anaconda in 2000, Annihilator in 2002. Pearson is one of the unsung companies making very good quality equipment and customer service second to none.

RE: pearson bows
This thread isa little old, but I'll throw my $.02 in anyway.
I own a Pride now and LOVE the bio-grip handle. I hope they are popular enough to keep that design around for years to come, because I don't know if I can go back to shooting a stright handled bow...........I might be able to, but I don't want to have to. For some, its hard to get used to, but I naturally hold my hand at the exact angle that the bio-grip is at so it was love at first feel. I can shoot a straight handled bow just fine, but I have to consciously watch my grip every shot sequence. Now I have one less thing to worry about when shooting. Two big enthusiastic thumbs up for the angled grip!!
As for the rest of the bow................fast, forgiving, quiet, accurate........what more could you ask for? I haven't found a hunting bow that I would prefer to shoot over the Pride.

Why yes I have and I love it!!! I am currently shooting one and it is a smooth and fast shooter. I have it set at 66# and 28" and shoot very accurately with it. Try one you wont be disappointed, the angle grip makes for a nice feel and allows you to use an open grip with no problem. The bow is a tad on the heavy side but it weighs in at about the same as the Switchback. If you have any questions let me know.
