Bear takedown longbow limbs
« on: May 25, 2014, 10:56:00 AM »
So I know bear tried these for a year or two and they're regarded as generally unshootable.

But I see 3 piece Longbow takedowns around. Was this a problem with the limbs they designed for the bear td? Or is it a problem with the original riser design, that it just doesn't lend itself to LB limbs?

Has anyone made LB limbs for the bear takedown that are worth their weight?

I had a friend who put some of those Bear longbow limbs on his A riser and I have to say that although I really like Bear bows, that was the ugliest bow I thought at the time I had ever seen.    :rolleyes:    That was in the days before "hybrid" bows became so big so maybe Bear  was ahead of the curve on that one, it sure was a "hybrid".      :goldtooth:

I posted this same query last year.  Apparently they were crap.
