I had the chance to shoot on an Anniversary A TD bow a set of No. 1 Yew veneered limbs. Were these limbs only applied to the limited run (12) of these anniversary bows or were others available at some point for sale. I would love to find a set as I was truly impressed with their looks and performance. Any help would be appreciated. tom

Ron I could of easily gotten confused on the detail its an old age thing for sure. Now that you mentioned the lamination that does make sense. I believe the gentlemen who owned it said it was a hard rock maple core. One thing for sure is that they were very impressive all the way around. Thanks tom.

I believe Three Rivers had Bear archery produce a limited run of takedowns a few years back. They were pretty sweet. Maybe this was what you were shooting.

Tom, Maybe I can help with that memory loss. I believe it was an Anniversary Signature model. Definately not the 3Rivers bow and not the supreme. Maybe Phillip or another expert could chime in. It definately was the sweetest shooting and looking bow I had the pleasure to fondle. And those latches sure did look purdy!!

This is what the gentleman is referring to...
It appears that Bear had made 12 special A handled TD's to commemorate Fred Bear's 100th birthday. That's about all I know. I pulled the pics from Bear's facebook page.
You'll probably have a tough time finding a set of these limbs for sale. You'd have better luck trying to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. If you do happen to find a pair, they probably won't be cheap.
Your best option would be a set of aftermarket limbs with yew veneers. There are a few guys out there that can make them (including myself).
