Title: Misfit Little Bear
Post by: Mike Shaw on January 07, 2009, 12:34:00 PM

From Misfit Island maybe?         :thumbsup:  
Thought you Bear collectors would enjoy seeing this. This is the first green futurewood Little Bear that I have ever seen in all my years of collecting Bear Archery. If there's anymore of these futurewood Little Bears out there, it would be interesting to hear from you.

I'am pretty sure thats what it is about 73-75-ish Grayling.There were not a heck of a lot of those built.To expensive for a kids bow.I do not think its in the catalog.But I should check before I say that.Cool bow Mike.....bd

Gotta admit, that's the first Greenie I have seen that I like.. I was told once it was illegal to collect kid's bows,, Ya gotta keep them in the hands of the youguns. In this case I'll forgive ya.
