Title: Bear TD #3 Limbs
Post by: Takedown on July 27, 2015, 03:12:00 PM

Hello guys. Can anyone tell me how they like shooting #3 limbs attached to an "A" handle?
I have a set of #1 limbs (making a 56" bow) that are marked at 55#. That yields a 57# bow. I would like to sell or trade for a set of limbs that would yield a 52# to 54#.

I suspect that set up would draw very smooth, right?
Any body shoot a set up like this?

I have an A handle with both #1 and #3 limbs.  My draw is right at 28" and both limbs perform just fine. However, for archers with longer draws then those #3 may feel a bit smoother.

I have an A two tone that I use with #3 limbs. I draw 30.5 and the bow is very comfortable to shoot.

Like Stagetek, I have a 30.5" draw length also.   I like both risers as long as they have #3 limbs on them.   To me, an A riser with #3 limbs feels so much better that a B riser with #1 limbs, even though they are both 60" bows...I guess that would be the result of a longer working limb.

I draw 29" and a bit. Prefer A riser with #3's. Feels smoother for me.
