Picked up a fiberglass Ben Pearson Jet Bow 333 for cheap money. Looks to be 63-64 year vintage according to the logo. Feels like it is about a 20# bow. Be a nice backyard shooter and rehab bow for my shoulder/elbow. Now just got to find some wood arrows.

And they will NEVER delaminate! Plenty more out there, too- so you can go up incrementally in wt. as you get stronger. Got five myself.

That is the exact model and color of the one I self taught mysef to shoot as a kid...
Mine was 25#, 1967 (I think) Ben Pearson Cat No. 333 Jet Bow and attached is the set as it came received for Christmas... Probably shot more arrows out of that little bow than any other bow in my life... Shot it practically daily until I was around 12 OR 13 and bought a 45# BP Cougar... So my first 2 bows were Pearsons… Didn't get a Bear until my third bow a Whitetail Hunter around 76 or 77...

The yellow/white glass 333, @30 pounds, was my 2nd bow. I took my 1st game, a gopher and a dove, with it at age 10. Talk about a crappy bow! At age 10, I was old enough and smart enough to know a crappy bow when I shot one! I got rid of it and bought a real bow, a 76er, and took my first deer with that. I gave the Pearson to my nieces after teaching them to shoot with it. They loved it!

I got some Gold Tip Ligntnings and Easton Jazz shafts I'm gonna try out of it, whenever I get a chance to cut and scrape and clean the vanes off them and fletch feathers, but haven't had the time lately... Vanes don't fly very good out of it...

Feather fletching, That's what I was thinking. All the arrows I currently have are aluminum Easton vaned. I want to order some wood with feathers.
