Long draws for a Bear T/D Hunter? Opinions please
« on: May 30, 2009, 01:55:00 PM »
I need to hear from those who have shot a Bear T/D Hunter (limb bolts, no latch), that have draw lengths in excess of 30 inches. This is a 60 inch bow and I have someone who wants to know if they draw smooth back to those lengths.
Just one more step please!

Wish I could tell ya Arwin.  I have a couple of them but I can only draw 29" max.  Smooth that far.  dino

I shoot right at 30" and I love mine. I always thought it was 62" though..... I'll have to double check. Mine is right at 70#'s at my 30".

When I get home tonight I'll take her back another couple inches and let ya know. I'll also check the length.

Yep. It's a 60"er. Shoots fine and smooth @30...

Thanks guys. I have a 27 1/4 inch draw and it shoots great for me but wanted to know if it's safe for longer draws.
 What kind of logs are you flinging out of that bow!   :scared:    :eek:

I shoot 31.5" GT trad 55/75's with 175 grains up front. I shot a little buck with it last year and a Muzzy phantom and it blew right through and stuck in a log about 20-30 yards past the buck.

 

The laminated riser is a little flashy for my taste so I gave it a paint job using a 'how to' instructional that a nice gent posted here.

Your friend should have no trouble up to 32". I pulled it back to my ear last night and I wasn't getting any finger pinch. Course I was probly holding 75#'s or so,.......

Take care,

Todd
