Title: Help with bow identification
Post by: M1982 on July 15, 2022, 08:30:59 PM
I bought this old bow about 15 years ago on eBay and really enjoyed shooting it until it broke. It is a short recurve and I know it probably isn't in production anymore but does anyone have a suggestion of something similar that is in current availability?  It is a Signal recurve- 52" bow 45#

I'm not sure, but I believe the Signal bow company had something to do with Ben Pearson Archery. Rumor has it these were made by Pearson for Sears or Montgomery Wards, neither of which I can prove or disprove.

I think when I bought this bow it said something about being a Pearson bow that didn't pass quality control and they badged them with this name but I have never seen that anywhere. 

All I know was it was a really sweet shooter for how small it was and I would like to have something as close to it as I can find someday. My best guess would be a Bear Kodiak Magnum but I don't know and hope someone has a good suggestion. I do think a radius shelf would be the only improvement I can think of.
