Ben Pearson Bows
 

Haven' t seen much on this site on Pearson Archery. Is there anyone else out there shooting with there equipment??? If so, how do you like it and what are you using. I shoot the Anaconda with the 20deg. bio grip and absolutely love it. I get 230fps with 29" Easton xx75s with 100gr. tips. Any feedback on their product would be greatly appreciated and if there are any questions that I may be able to answer please ask.

PEARSON bows are very good quality!I' m just giving this post a bump so you can get some more feedback.

I shoot the old Spoiler II I love it but it is noisy and slow, but many bucks have fallen with it. I would like to see any info on this to. But I will say that they seem to have gone in and out of business a lot !

They are actually McPherson/Pearson archery now. They seem to be holing up well now and their product line is real good. McPherson is the proshop line while Pearson is the line you can get online and in the shops. Check out the new catalog at benpearson.com. The new FREEDOM looks pretty awsome!!!! I really like the 20 degree bio grip they offer. The bow shoots smooth and is very comfortable. Helps me because of wrist slap which is non existant now.

Thanks for the replies,

Shoot Straight,

I owned a diamondback and diamondback vx, these 2 bows are very well made and are among the most quiet bows i have shot!
Pearson has come a long way in the last few years, very good quality for the money.

I completely agree with bbahunter. I' m still using the Diamondback for hunting and I' m still happy with it.

Pinwheel 12,
The reason you see the split limbs is because a few years ago they offered some of their bows with solid or split. Comes to pass that they have less than 1% failure of their split limbs. Now looking at it from a business standpoint which would you want the consumer to have? They don' t get any back.
By the way guys, I have some of their bows for sale at rock-bottom prices, including a DB VX. All new. You' ll have to e-mail me for the price list at [email protected].

I shoot a McPherson Intimidator, and love it! :D

BG-

I know all about split limbs, and why they invented them. You are getting and repeating the same feedback everyone else got from the factories who utilizes them.

However--

The real reason split limbs were invented to begin with was that they could get 3 limb sides out of one blank instead of one. This turns into a 50% increase in product and production thereof,(one extra complete limb for every two blanks cut) in other words they make a boatload of extra money by doing it this way. Only Hoyt and High Country has seen fit to make their split limbs extra wide and thick enough to offset the lack of torsional rigidity that split limbs exhibit, everyone else that still uses them still runs the thinner limb sides to get three from a blank, and this is strictly done from a monetary standpoint, nothing more. Notice all TOP companies utilize solid limbs (Mathews, Merlin, PSE, Martin, Bowtech, Parker, Bowman, etc ) except for Hoyt and High Country and they have 3/4 limbs with limbsavers and connectors to hold them together much like a solid. Solid limbs, especially recurve design, will exhibit a much higher torsional stiffness (side to side movement) than normal split limbs. This is factual, and is why you see some manufacturers bolting on limbsavers and other " connectors" in an attempt to help with the lack of torsional stability associated with the split limb design. That' s it in a nutshell. Pearson/McPherson is just cutting corners to save money, much like NAAG (Bear, Jennings, Golden Eagle, etc) does also. Considering both those companies have been under reconstructions and mergers and other things in the past few years, I really cannot blame them in this case, and it was a smart business move, but unfortunately not smart from a technical standpoint IMHO. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
