My grandmother had this bow in her garage and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it? It seems to be in good shape but needs a string. The only markings were Ben Pearson Colt 960 60". Thanks for any help or info. Would it use a 56" string?

If the limbs are in good shape it should be fine for a non-FF string. I'd think that 56" would be about right. I've had a couple of old Ben Pearson recurves that were fine shooters

What is non-FF?Comment

Older bows weren't designed for fast flight strings.
Get a string made from B50 or B55Comment

string
If you go to an archery shop to get a string, ask for a recurve 60" string. It will actually measure out to about 56 inches, however you need to specify that it is for a 60" bow. Wow, hope I didn't confuse you with this.Originally posted by Arlington BowHunter View PostComment

Thanks for the help guys. I'm a compound shooter but I thought it looked like a fun bow to play with. I don't know what the poundage on it is but it seems pretty low.Comment
