Hoping someone can help here.

I just got back into traditional recently (got my first bow in the late 60's and hunted traditional until about 1973 or so). I just acquired this bow shown below to get back into it. I was told that it might be a Ben Pearson, but I am skeptical. It's not a big deal really. The bow is in pretty good shape. One limb is a little warped, but it still shoots pretty good and is pretty smooth.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here might recognize who might have made it.

Thanks.



And NO I am not trying to sell this bow!

It is a Fleetwood.  Got one that has the same kind of signature.  Looks identical except that mine is a laminated riser instead of solid wood.

Thank you sir.  

Do you know if that is the Fleetwood that was located in Denver years ago?  

The serial number looks as though there are millions of them out there.  Must be a code along with it.

I've been trying to straighten the limb but not much luck with that yet.

Steve,  sorry but the only thing I know about it is that it looks like mine.  Other than that....your guess is as good as mine.  Bill

Well that's a help.  Thanks and no apologies necessary.

I have quite a few items, arrows, etc. marked:Fleetwood Archery Superior Wis. Don't know if the bows were made there though.

Wadde,

Do you have a bow and if so, does it look similar to the one in the photo?
