I currently own a Bear takedown with a B riser.  I am considering purchasing an A riser with a hammer grip for a shorter bow to use hunting from blinds.  Does anyone have experience with the hammer grip, and if so, how do you like it?

I use Birchwood Casey Tru-oil (made with linseed and other oils) over Minwood stains or home-made natural walnut water-based stain, 3-4 coats.  Seems to work fine.

Wow, what a great looking display, congratulations putting it all together.

Thank you Lord for helping Randy, and his family make through the surgery and recovery.

I have a 1 piece Hummingbird Kingfisher Longbow made for me by Ben Graham. A 3 piece Kingfisher Longbow that was Ben's personal Bow that Linda gifted to me after Ben passed, and a 1 piece Kingfisher Longbow made for me by James Parker and I love them all.  Hummingbirds were all I shot for a long time, now I mix in a couple of Bear takedowns and a Black Widow recurve that a friend gave me.   Kurt

I have 2 Wood "B" Bear Takedowns, early 1980's Green Stripe and 2012 Black Maple with Red Stripe . Both have a smaller grip and #1 limbs and I love them both. Would like to have a Left handed "B" Mag riser if I could find one at a reasonable price.   Kurt

Your Bow looks great Jegs.,  I have 2 Bear "B" takedowns.  An early 80's Green Stripe and a 2012 Black Maple with the Red Stripe, both have #1 limbs and I love them both. I have had them for about 2 years and wish I would have gotten them sooner.   Kurt
