bear minuteman ?

[kuch]

can you still get the limbs for these ?  what was the highest poundage? my buddy has two risers but no limbs....appreciate any info.  thanks.

[Jack Shanks]

There was a set on the big auction site. It may have ended by now.

[kuch]

what's the highest poundage?

[D.Sheppard]

If they were like the "76er" there were 4 weights.

Light    25-30#
Medium   30-35#
Heavy    40-45#
Xtra Hvy 45-50#

[kuch]

the heavy or extra heavy would be a nice bowfishing rig. are those limbs rare?

[kuch]

does anyone make replacements?

[kuch]

i talked my left handed buddy out of a RH minuteman riser that i am going to refinish....But i need limbs???

[kuch]

can the minuteman limbs and 76er limbs be used on either riser? if not why ...what is the difference?thanks for the info.

[d. ward]

minuteman limbs have wooden corewood and the 76er is solid glass limbs but I think the risers are the same ????? bd

[kuch]

that is what i thought. they look interchangeable to me...whywould bear make them look the same but not interchangeable???

[inrut]

The riser is the same except for the band that goes around the limb at each end of the riser. The Minuteman has a thicker fadeout wedge in the limb butt. Limbs are not interchangeable without changing the band to match the limb type.

[d. ward]

I'd agree with you about the limb butt thickness because of the wood corewood in the minute man bd

[bearmagtd]

The limb space on the 76 er riser is about 3/8" and the space for the minuteman is about 1/2". The limb keeper mount is also on a different angle on the minuteman. The 76 er has almost no angle to it. Send me a pm if you would like some pictures of the to together. Larry

thanks guys

The risers are not the same due to the limb pocket differences. I don't think that anyone makes replacement limbs for them, BUT, since it is such as simple limb end design I would think that a bowyer could rework his limbs to fit into it.
