I finally got around to refinishing Colt 7070 I picked up a few years ago as a project bow. I put phenolic and hardwood tip overlays on, and I am using a low stretch string - this thing is a shooter.
I have never really liked recurves, but I am having fun with this bow. I am thinking it may well be my go to bow this season :)
Good deal Rick-what kind of poundage did you get?
50 @ 28. Shoots my woodies really nice.

Many of the old Pearson bows are underrated and overlooked IMO. The Colt was a "cheap" bow, but a great shooter. Main drawback (as with any old bow) was the lack of reinforced tips making it "Dacron only". Bet the one you fixed really is a shooter!
