Bear Bow Question
« on: January 20, 2017, 09:42:00 AM »
After spending much time and money, I have determined that 62" recurve bows seem to shoot best for me. I have Bear bows in every length but that one and would like to find/try one.
Can I get a little guidance as to what Bear bows, past or present, are made in that length? Everything I find seems to go from 60" to 64".
Thanks.

I agree, the Bear TD is the way to go.

Current production Bear bows you can get the Kodiak's in 64". There are several older Bear Kodiak's in the 64" length plus I have also seen several older Grizzlies in the 62" that are excellent shooters!

Not too many 62" Bear bows around. They discontinued #2 limbs awhile ago, and that pretty much eliminated the possibility of 58 or 62" T/D's. RER used to make #2 limbs, but they've been sold.

Late 50s to '63 Grizzly, also some of the Tigercats were 62" and great shooters.

Thanks for all the responses.
I would like to try a 62" Grizzly. I have a 58" but it stacks a bit for me. Really nice bow.

I had Kirk at Bigfoot make me #2 limbs for my B Mag riser. I really like them.
