I just received my 89 year old grandmothers vintage bow. My guess is that it is around late 40's early 50's. Can anyone help me identify this bow. Also I am new here. My family is into archery and I have just started again. Haven't done this since I was 15 but am loving it already. Thanks again for any help.

Ben Pearson....hickory. Should have curved tip?

It's great to keep heirlooms in the family. I'd probably not shoot it but hang it on the wall for posterity since it's an old longbow and subject to failure.

nice dog too.

YES It does have a curved tip!!  I am going to look that up.  I am not even going to string it as it wouldn't take that.  I plan to hang it right in my office!  Thanks so much

That is exactly what it is!!!!  Thank you soooo much.  I am so excited to have this information!

LOL thanks, I like the dog too  

some tennis racquet handle wrap would get that grip back in shape or you can try a Hobby Lobby for some 1/2" wide leather lace.  

Cool bow, Trap
