Great bow ,I found an old Ben Pearson's in a frame house we were tearing down ,the finish was water and plaster damaged ,so I cleaned it up and just finished it yesterday and I'm going to take it out and shoot it this weekend ,the wood is in great shape the laminations are solid and I use true oil on most of my bows ,it works.

Greg - Nice attention to detail, it came out very nice. The Palomino is kick'in! Greg can you imagine what it was like to go into a BP bow shop back in 1965 to 1969 and marvel over spanking brand new 66 to 70 inch factory fresh beauties of your pick'in! Wow now those were the days and really liv'in. Keep up the great work! Go 2018 R100!

You've got a talent for fixing up these vintage bows. I've got some rough spots on a vintage Wing Archery bow I picked up. I'm not sure if any of them need fixing up or are potentially a detriment to the bow itself. Is there anyway I'd be able to send you a few pictures of it? Not sure what the verdict would be, I'm newer. Thanks in advance That 65' Palomino is one of the nicest looking bows I've seen.

I managed to get for my dads Birthday on November 16, it is 7th now. I won about a month or two ago a dual sided Bear Brow Bear All fiberglass bow at 45 pounds for $75 including shipping and tax, Bow was $57, no string and it was basically bran new, just Bid On the bow up to $75 or $80 since that is about the Max for an older All Fiberglass bow that is not a Ben Person Jet/Super Jet type of bow in higher weights past 35--40 pounds. The guy said why the Brown Bear was nearly bran new he got a Bear brand of wood fiberglass laminate bow for his birthday at same poundage in 1970's after having bought this bow New only a few months earlier so it was never used much since he got the better bow. The person selling must have had some lower poundage bow too since it is not advised to start with more then 30--35 pounds for a beginner or somebody coming back after not doing archery for a long time. My Dad can use the bow but he is one of the rare few like this that can start on a 40--45 pound bow after to having shot for 15 years. I got him the bow since he can shoot on both the inside and outside of the bow without much problem. So yes there is deals to be found on E-bay for bows, I almost got for $150 a left handed Serra X--20 th 50 inch bow at 45 pounds from Shakespeare but I lost the bid due to internet connection going out in the final minutes, probably for the better since I got an all New bow that is 45 pounds from Amazon an OEELINE Airobow being the 54 inch one piece model, the company does not label its bows only going by size and if one piece.

You can certainly get some bargains on Ebay! I recently grabbed a 1970's Marksman Ranger bow by Les Howis ( Made in Sherwood Forest!) for a buy it now price of £27 with free shipping!! I wasn't expecting too much but when it arrived it was immaculate! Lovely shooting bow and now my firm favourite.

Steve C, Nice, I picked up a 70s Marksman Forest Knight #40 in the same nick as Greg's BenP for £60, the African rose wood looks beautiful after a sand and poly. So happy I brought a Meteor next. Don't tell anyone how cheap fun can be, they'll all be at it . :)

Nice job refinishing the bow. I think you should try two nock points, one above and one below your arrow, that should get rid of your popping the nock off the string

Nice looking bow at a bargain price. This video certainly brings up some questions. Nock problem is similar to one I had with one set of arrows on a bow. I tightened the nocks but when you did the tapping on the string they were way too tight. Bow speed testing distance was interesting and would be good to see how at what point does the arrow start to significantly lose speed when comparing two different poundages with the same initial speed. Look forward to the next video.

As far as your arrows falling off due to the nok problem ....why don't you just wrap the string / serving with a layer of more string to tighten up the noks ......just my guess and I have done it on one of my bows and so far so good . ok thanks for the video and congrats on your new bow . I just picked up a couple Ben Pearsons and a Shakespear and a sweet never been shot 60,s Indian .....

The nocks are tight, more string, it would seem to me make it worse. I was thinking a thinner string. But it is the angle of the string. The string above the nock is at such an angle that it is pushing the nock forward.

If you could have gotten your thumb nail into the crack, how would you get epoxy into the crack, toothpick, needle? Also, after applying the epoxy, would you have clamped the riser to try and close the crack? TIA and nice vid.

I do use a toothpick or needle. I do not clamp it, will take a ton of pressure. I just fill, let soak in and file to even.
