Ben Pearson recurve bow

I was given this as a gift today. Any info on the age, usage (target/hunting) and possible value?

I couldn't give you any idea of age or value. if the limbs are straight and there are no cracks, it should be a shooter, hunting or target.
I suggest flexing the limbs with a stringer first before stringing it up. use a B50 or B55 string.

It's a 1966 model I believe. It's a nice hunting weight at 52 pounds. No clue on value. It is a good looking bow though...I love the lighter wood in the sight window. I'd buy one if the price was right.
