Bearpaw glass
« on: December 20, 2024, 08:02:19 AM »
Wanting to place an order for more glass and wondering how Bearpaw is doing now?  price point for us north of the border in Canada . Thinking about trying Bearpaw again ??   Approx cost per bow clear glass by the time it lands at my door …
Gordons $70.00 Can.
Bearpaw $40.00 Can.

I haven’t played with it in years. Last time I did, I bought a large roll of it and was building bows and shipping them 10 at a time to China. The draw weights didn’t have to hit a particular draw weight. I had a 40#-55# range  to work with.

I’d use it again for low budget production line bows, but not custom stuff.

Considering what you are building Bryan…. I wouldn’t use low budget glass myself.

.02 cents worth.     Kirk

Last bow I used it on came in almost 10# light, I'm not planning on using it anymore, unless it's all that's available.

Rosewood said that BP has improved the structure of their glass and their clarity has been good, They also said Gordon’s in their opinion is perfect. I guess that should answer my question lol but its $$ when your prototyping limb ideas   :o good fun comes with a price.  :biglaugh:

My last protos were done with colored glass.
