Bear 76er Demand
« on: June 04, 2011, 08:33:00 PM »
Is there a demand for these bows?  

How about the Risers?
Relax,

I've posted before that I think these bows are real sleepers and a super value....don't know about demand ,but I feel mine is worth more than I paid for it and shoots way better than I expected.

Kuch, The reason I ask, is because I feel mine is the exact opposite and I want to sell it.

I picked it up at an auction and due to a blemish and twist in a limb, am afraid to shoot it. Just wondering if anyone wants to hang it on their wall or have an extra riser laying around.

I already plan on taking a loss on the bow.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

i'd look for new limbs cheap. I'm telling you these things can be good. if it has a grip , good riser.....keep it a look for limbs. I actually cut a tip off one limb and filed new string grooves and it still shot good!  best bowfishing rig hands down.

Dont want to cross the line here, I have a broken handle with a set of good limbs,
In the NW more and more guys are using them to bowfish. I already sold grip, and used limbs for making takedown bowcases made from cedar, thats all I have used them for. 76ers can take a beating but I believe they are a little under rated. Kuch is on the right track,, reproduction limbs for these bows would sell quite well in Nw. Thanks

I would probly buy a set for mine if they were repro's. I probly couldn't afford any custom ones. But either way I have heard nothing but good about these bows and cannot wait to get a string for mine and do some shooting with it.

Here are the "sleepers". I refinished one riser  and painted both sets of limbs with fusion flat black

Chad,
One day soon I'm going to make 76er limbs! I think I have it figured out already. I made #1 and #2 limbs for my Bear T/D Mag riser. Was going to start tonight but my shop was just too hot and I didn't want to start the A/C. I'll let you know when I get a set finished!

Monte, Let me know if you figure out the 76 limb building.  There must be a niche market for them as I am on the prowl and sounds like a few others are as well.
Relax,
