I have been bitten hard by the Bear takedown bug the last couple of years and as a result, I have a half dozen of them at the house now. I recently picked up a late 80's green stripe that was supposedly new in the box and unshot. You certainly couldn't disprove it by the condition of the bow... unblemished and gorgeous.
Question about it though.... I have seven sets of Bear limbs, mostly the newer ones, and they all have a small brass bushing in the limb around the hole that goes over the locator screw when it is assembled. The green tip limbs for this bow do not have this bushing on either limb. Is this correct for this vintage of takedown or is something amiss?
