It was a great year , did not take very long to find them , finding was the easy part , paying for them was the hard part. I now own 12 Bear TDs , its almost as fun hunting for them as hunting with them. ( well almost ) ,,,Sam,,,,

Otto, My "all red" striper should arrive today or tomorrow. I may sand off the matte finish and put a gloss finish on it...still deciding.

I was very pleased with my " all Red Stripe" that bow shoots on par with any recurve I have ever shot. They have done Mr. Bear proud. And it looks good to boot.

Well I got my bubinga B riser today from Big Jim. They look better in person than in print if you ask me. The grip is NOTHING like the Dymondwood one I got a couple months ago. The Bubinga is tiny, very narrow. The gray one was really beefy, I took a bunch off the front, rounding the edges down.
someone asked about the throat on the bubinga, it's 4 3/4"

It is actually a little lighter than the A. It is very slim.
It is hard to believe they make them so different. I am curious to know if they are all the same or it's just a crap shoot what kind of grip you are gonna get.
Anyone else have both of the new ones. How do they compare ?

My diamondwood red stripe looks just like your bubinga riser, very, very slim and with the "S" shape to the front of the grip. I have a bubinga riser on order. I hope it comes in similiar to yours. Mine is a "B" as well. I wonder if the A's & B's come with different grips?

I got a Bubinga B riser last week. The throat is 4 3/4" like OBXarcher's. It surprised me how thin the riser is from side to side.....1" wide.
The grip felt strange at first, but it didn't take long to adjust to it, and it's a very nice performer, not a speed demon, but it's very easy for me to be accurate with.....I like it.

My dymondwood red stripe is exactly like yours before you worked it over. I have had a bubinga on order since November and they said 6 weeks! Anyway I couldn't wait and bought one of Big Jim's red B's. Grip is thin like yours. Bottom limb wouldn't go on past the locator screw. I shoot Rose Oaks. I took it out and shot the bow without the screw over the weekend and called Bear this morning. They said ship it back at my cost and they would fix. Second call was to big Jim and he said don't worry I will get you the freight cost reimbursed. This guy is outstanding! but we discussed since the limbs are not Bears its a bit marginal to expect them to fit to the riser. I agree to a point, but am willing to bet Brandon's limb is not the culprit. Third call was to Brandon and he said (despite what some believe)that the screw locates the limb vertically and without the screw the tiller can be compromised and in worse case the limb could be damaged. Same answer as Bear but they didn't say why. Anyway after chucking the screw in the drill press and sanding it down, still no go. Switched the top and bottom screws and finally got the bottom limb on. I still love Bear and am even more impressed with Brandon Stahl and Big Jim.
