Bear recurves, need help
« on: January 03, 2015, 05:31:00 AM »
I have 3 older bear recurves, just looking for some info on the date of manufacture. I figure there are probably some experts on here who could help or get me pointed in the right direction.

Yep,  trad history & collecting forums will be the place.  Pictures of your bows will get you accurate answers.

If a date is under the rug, my guess it was probably put there by previous owner.  I have never heard of Bear doing that, but then again we learn stuff every day.  Usually, only the wt. was put on by Bear.

Now, if you have a 59 Kodiak that scales 59#...    :D
