        WELL, I’VE RESCUED ANOTHER BOW FROM A STORAGE UNIT. MY FATHER IN LAW OWNS ABOUT 300 STORAGE UNITS AND FROM TIME TO TIME THE RENTERS DECIDE TO SKIP OUT AND ABANDON THE UNIT LEAVING ALL OF THEIR JUNK FOR US TO HAVE TO CLEAN OUT AND MOST OF THE TIME IT IS DEFINITELY JUNK….HOWEVER WE DO COME ACROSS THINGS OF INTEREST OCCASIONALLY. NOW LET ME CLARIFY, WE DONT CLEAN THESE OUT UNTIL IT IS CLEAR THEY AINT COMING BACK AND HAVE QUIT PAYING FOR MONTHS AND ALL OUR CONTACTS HAVE FAILED. ANYWAY, THE FIRST BOW I FOUND WAS A BEAR BEARCAT 45# 60″ THAT I DATED AT AROUND 1973-1975 AND JUST LAST WEEK I RECOVERED A BEN PEARSON COLLEGIAN BUT THE ONLY NUMBERS ON IT ARE 713-60″. I UNDERSTAND THE 60″ BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER? ITS VERY SIMILAR TO FEEL ON THE BEARCAT. I THOUGHT SOME OF YOU GURU’S MIGHT HELP ME OUT WITH SOME INFO ON THIS PARTICULAR BOW. THANKS AHEAD!

              Do you have a picture of the bow? If you need help posting it just email it to me at webmaster@tradbow.com.

                YELLING? IM SORRY I DIDNT THINK WE WERE SO SENSITIVE TO CAPS LOCKS. IM JUST A LAZY TYPER…i’ll do better, unless all lower case makes me seem inferior.

                  LOL…Typically, in chat/forum lingo, all caps conveys YELLING. Many people type in all caps because they can’t see the smaller letters that well. Not a big deal to me, but some people do find it distracting. I try not to let myself type in all lower case, because then that tells me that I’m allowing myself to be lazy, and allowing bad habits to begin forming. We all know what happens when bad habits begin their formation. Our shooting goes out the window before it’s even opened all the way. Anyway, enough about that.

                  What’s your bow? Do you have pictures available?

                          msarcher,

                          It’s probably as much my fault, if not moreso, than it is Robin’s. Sorry’bout that. You might want to put this post in the Bowyer’s forum, or perhaps the Collector’s forum. I haven’t been around long enough to really know a lot about the older bows. I know there were some absolute knockout gorgeous bows built before lamination became normal and popular, though. I’ve seen some on e-bay that I just wanted wanted, (yes, I put wanted in there twice) but my wife put the kai-bosh on me buying them because she didn’t see the sense in it. As she put it, “you can’t shoot more than one at a time, why do you need more?” She just doesn’t understand, and probably never will. LOL. Anyway, I’d post this in one of the other two forums I mentioned. Good luck finding information about your bow.

                          Michael.

                            I too add my apologies. I answered in haste and thought you were someone else with a similar username. 😳 I sure didn’t mean to derail your question. I’d be happy to delete this and let you start again.

                              No, i was only only kidding. It probably was more interesting than the original anyway…
