I sure wish Bear would bring back the custom shop. I called them not long ago and the girl said they only come as you see them in the ads. Would be nice to have a choice in woods and grip styles. Even just the three like in the Mag Risers. You would think they would have some of those laying around to use as a template. I don't care for the red stripes and plain actionwood or the compass either. But that's just me.

Gun, it would be nice for them to offer some custom orders. Some would like to see the old Future Wood come back, but I think Dymond wood has replaced that. As far as grip styles, I saw at the K-Zoo expo that you can order the bow with "Fred's Grip" (lowered arrow shelf) as an option.

I would be very interested in finding out more specifics about this. I've heard something similar from others but can't quite seem to nail down how to make this happen.
As a "Bear guy" I would be in favor of all sorts of "custom" options being offered from the plant and would be more than willing to pay.
Would love to see a new Mag riser along with more wood TD options.
I too had a new red stripe but traded it away because the grip didn't quite fit like some of my other Bears.

Whew! Thought I killed a thread again. I have the #2 Grip on a Bear Mag and like it. The three options that were available should about cover everyone. I just think Bear is missing the boat. Especially since the old risers are getting so expensive and hard to find as collectors are "hoarding" them.

I didn't realize I was collecting them until after the TV program "Hoarders" contacted me about filming a episode for their show. Told me someone in Canada had notified them.
Gun,
You will be happy to know that due to their intervention I will be letting go of a couple extra B Mags not shown as part of my therapy.

Hopefully Bear is listening, and I am sure that if the demand stays high they will see to it.
