bear grizzly breaks on camera

[John Cholin]

Friends,

I think there is a lot going on there that we don't know.  The bow did not break as she got to full-draw, but rather when she released the string.  I suspect it is an old bow designed for B55 strings that is now set up and probably shot many times with a new low-stretch string.  She was also having trouble holding at full draw and the nock might have slipped some.  I don't think we can conclude too much until a lot more detail is known.

I had a Bear Take-down break a limb on me.  It happened as I was approaching full draw with the third or fourth arrow in a 10-arrow quiver.  I found that the screw that held the latching lever for the limb clamp was preventing the latching lever from fully engaging.  I fixed it the riser but needed new limbs. When I contacted 3-Rivers they told me they would cover it under warranty but because I was so short of time I just bought replacement limbs and went hunting.  The 50# Bear Cheyenne if bought as a back-up is SWEET!

I don't think we can infer anything about that bow without a ton of additional detail that isn't in the video.

Best Regards,

Right before Christmas I had a Dwyer Original Longbow blow up on me right as I hit my anchor point. I’m not sure how but some thing rapped the knuckle of my middle finger on my right hand hard enough to leave a deep bruise. It’s still a little sore.

To be clear: I’m not knocking Dwyer. I bought that bow used in 2017. I shoot on my own property so it probably had 30k shots through it. It was also tillered to 28” and I wonder if my 31” draw length helped do it in.

It gave me the excuse to order a Howard Hill tillered to my draw length. It will be nice to have a bow with my name on it instead of some other guy’s too.
