Bear Type 1 A riser Pics, for my friend Felix in Italy
« on: May 22, 2009, 09:07:00 PM »
I have had this for a while now but am just getting around to posting this, sorry it took so long Felix.

Type 1 A riser,#2 limbs make a 58" bow and 60#@28".

What can I say, a classic beauty and a real shooter. Quiet as a mouse and hits where I look. I have always wanted one of these and when this came along I just had to buy it. It will stay with me for good. I have a set of #3 limbs that bodoc is refinishing that will make a 60" bow and 65#@28".

LOL, Doc. I would be afraid to even shoot that one with all that history on it. B riser or C riser? Looks like a C to me. That is one to treasure.

Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.

There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.

Doc,

I can read Papa Bear's autograph, but not the other two on my screen...  

Who else signed it?

I have a 2002 "A" handle, 2 sets of #1 FF limbs and 1 set of #3 white tip Grayling limbs.  It is undoubtedly my favorite goto bow.
 

Here I am shooting it at the 2008 Baltimore Classic.  I hit the 8 ring on a bear at I think it was 58 yards.   I DO LOVE THAT BOW!
