I know 6.8 seems awfully low doesn't it? What amazes me is that indoors while testing, there was no noticeable difference in loudness of the bow. I will probably end up shooting wood arrows out of this bow, not because of the weight and larger gpp figure, but because woodies seem right with it.

:thumbsup:  Forgive my question if it's naïve, but are the Bear TDs a static tip recurve?

Now that is a beautifully crafted bow! Always thought I would prefer the rosewood colored version, but now it is a toss up! I don't know what a static tip is. Perhaps someone else will chime in that knows. Thanks for sharing.

MoOse where did you buy it from? I really like the darker almost charcoal like wood with contrasting red stripe and limb tips!  Very nice    :thumbsup:    makes me take a second look at a Bear.

Thanks guys, it's not a static tip, I got it in December it's a 2015 model. The limb tips have been redone, and made smaller for better performance. I have a video of a friend of mine shooting it who is new to Traditional archery, it's just a few shots but if you folks would like to see it I can upload it and post it on this thread?

I thought I'd add this, since I was new to the TD. This is of course a "B" handle and #3 limbs which should make a 64" bow. I pre-ordered a 61" string and received it before the bow arrived. I strung it up and that's when I realized the 61" was too short. With that string basically untwisted, the brace height was 9" I ordered another string from 60X and like always shipped the very next day. Fastest service ever. I use the bcy x and this time ordered a 61.75" string. That string arrived today, and when strung, the bow braced perfectly at 7.5" the starting brace height recommendation for this model. I thought this might save some folks some time when getting a string for their TD.

I'm not sure if this applies to any TD made before 2015, but this is the magic number for this one.
