Title: Any thoughts on the Bear T/D endorsed by Fred Eickler

Just bought a used riser, who’s shooting one ? Any good or bad opinions ?

I've only held one at the store and never shot it, but it definitely had an interesting feel to it. I was curious how it would feel with a higher draw weight considering how narrow the grip was, and would like to shoot one someday if I get the chance.

Ron, I shoot Bear TD's;  Tried the Eichler bow at ETAR and luv'd it.  The grip(or lack of it) felt very good.  I would more than likely put something on it.

I’ve built aftermarket limbs for several of them now and the way the limbs fit is slightly different. I could see issues with some of Bears limbs not fitting properly…

But with that being said, all of the TD Bear risers have their own personality. When I build limbs for them I have my customers send the riser to me so I can custom fit the limbs to the individual risers to insure fit and tracking.

I build both hybrid long bow limbs and the static tip limbs shown here.
