This photo is from leatherwall forum as many others too. I collect what i can found and what is interesting to me.

The man on the catalog pics is Howard Hill, he promoted this kind of bows for the Pearson Company. The man on the left on this pic is Ben Pearson.

EDIT: Sorry for double posting, I just looked on the first thumbnail pic, the pic with the archery shop is from me (Bill Negleys book "Archer in Africa"), I posted it on the Stickbow Leatherwall some weeks ago.

hallo together,

thank you or the pictures in this thread. It is the first time that I saw a picture from the man, who build my first own bow:

a Ben Pearson, Rogue (**)

I love it al lot, and sometimes I take it down from the wall and let arrows fly.

Benz Pearson ?:)

You can also see the original Negley, test shooting some arrows with Ben P.
Negley is still alive and about 90 years old now. He was quite a hunter, had taken the "Big Five" with bow and arrow.
He used for usually Bear recurves up to 120#.
