This older Pearson gave yeoman service today on my backyard range. Bow specs are 35lbs.@28 and 66" shooting 1816's at my 26.5 draw. Once i get a better string I expect even shooting qualities. This is a Palamino model.

Nice bow!

I have one of those. Great shooter!

IMO, one of the most attractive bows BP made. Never shot one but I'm certain it's a shooter based on what I've read.

Great bow!

I had one of those, 68", white glass and rosewood, 28#, near mint, that I stupidly sold a few years ago.

Here is my 1956 I got off ebay. Looked pretty nasty. So I resotred it.

Here it is restored, no resotred :)

3D, that is likely a 66 rather than a 56. Pearson didn't even name their bows until 1958. The big risers started early 60's for the most part. The early/mid 60's to mid 70's was the era of the big riser bows.

When I entered Trad archery 2-3 years ago, I entered without instruction, mentor, advice. I had one friend 225 miles away, who sold me some recurves. I remember him saying, and reading on the web as well, that Pearson bows were entry level gear. I don't know. Not in this case. I love this Palomino. Nice looking, great shooter. Pleasant lines and use of laminations in my opinion.

Sorry bout the double post. Too much coffee and Nyquil!

Here is a'59 Palomino 66" and 48lb@28. Olive green glass on belly and a cinnamon glass on back with tip wedges. Very quiet shooter.

I've shot that 59, and it's a keeper.

George, Typo, how about a 1965.
