Title: Fred Bear "Spirit of America" Bow
Post by: arrowslinger22 on May 05, 2014, 01:07:00 PM

Just saw one of these on my local craigslist.  Not in the market for something like this, but it is pretty cool.  How rare are these?  Seller wants a lot of money it seems to me.

I would say it is pretty rare and well worth the asking price to the right collector.

Thanks Jack, it's way out of my price range though.  I appreciate your insights.  I do love the old Bears.

What are the details on the bow?

I only ask because the only bow that comes to my mind is the Bear '76er.

It is a "C" handle takedown.

$1050 is a bit pricey for that one.

I think he was selling the 2 in shrink wrap for less than half that
