Hi. I'm 39 and been shooting a compound and traditional since I was a small child. I recently acquired my late Grandfather's old Ben Pearson 7050 Cougar and started slowly getting it back to shooting condition. I can't wait for my new string to come in so I can get my nocks put on it and start shooting. The current string is ok to shoot now, and I been shooting it a little bit here and there. After this, my next project is going to be a ILF Bow from a donor riser. I plan on trying to use my grandpa's Pearson to take a whitetail in the near future, once I feel comfortable and accurate enough to do so.
