I have an old Ben Pearson Apex (#10, it seems) recurve. I once had some info located on this series of bows, but can't seem to find it. Any of you guys remember anything about them, or know where I can find the info?
I had one in my collection. It is the only bow that I ever sold, so that tells you a bit about my opinion of the bow. I bought it off the auction site we must not name for $40.00 + shipping, and sold it for $61.00 + shipping, at the same auction site. I was glad just glad to get my money back.
They are solid shooters, but that is about all I can say for them. Of course that is true for many of the Ben Pearson bows. I always reccommend new trad shooters to get a Ben Pearson for a starter bow because they don't cost a lot. As far as being shooters, they are about the most underated bows out there. They do deserve a better reputation than they get. They are not that well though of simply because you can get them so cheap. For the buyer, that is a good thing.
This is a work in progress. Help me out:
