Title: Upgrades for my new bow came today!
Post by: Longtoke on October 14, 2015, 04:26:00 PM
My old Bear Minuteman was getting pretty well worn and I decided I needed something with a little more oomph. Got this lovely 1975 or maybe 1976? Bear Grizzly in the mail last week and I am in love. I wanted to post some pics of it then but I decided I would wait until I got my TenRing Strings to go along with it. Man Do they make a pretty pair. I called Allen on the phone and he was very nice and helpful, made my strings quickly and even let me know when he shipped them out. I am very pleased with both purchases.

Here is the bow with the old endless loop string

I did not know this until now but I was told older Bears have their ACTUAL draw weight written under the striker pad. I think thats something they should go back to

Well thats my post for the day, can't wait to get home from work to start tuning my arrows to this bad boy. BTW what string should I use first? The green or the yellow?

That's a pretty bow. I didn't know the actual weight was listed under the striker plate. I wish all the bows were correctly labeled spot on right there in plain sight, but that's just me.
