Fred I sure am glad you love this baby so much because I did until I wanted a Green stripe and thats how you ended up with this bow. I got my green stripe and was blown away at how smooth a 60 pounder could be because up to this point I had been shooting no more that 52 pounds due to an accident I had sustained. Now can I hold out in a full 3D to end I don't know yet. Will find out soon.

It hurt to let this one go but it was to move forward feeding addictions that will never end I realize.

Am I satisfied no I want the real one the I or the II but thats going to be a hole other price range to.

I don't know if I had mentioned it to you but your bow has some real MoJo it took a number of animals the ol feller I got it off. He was the original owner I was the 2nd owner and your the 3rd Fred.

I have a Red glass Big Jim and love that bow as well with 2011 limbs red tips. These grips are just awsome and its the same on yours Fred as this one and the Green stripe I can't even imagine the earl ones they all shoot so well even the Mags.

Just wanted others to know also Jim Gainey made me a set of limbs and they are incredable, smooth and fast and beautiful with Elk tips he did for me. I have asked him to make me a set of limbs that look like they came off a Supreme all glossed up so sooner or later I'll get those for my other Bear TD's heavier than my last set though.

New.... Or Mark (OBXarcher) has a very nice green stripe in the classifieds for even less $ than that.

it is an addiction for which I know no cure! I only have two takedowns. A new special B handle from Big Jim, and a Type 1 B handle signed. I like the Type 1 best.

i think that was why i spent my money for bills on it, my reasoning was the bills will always be there the bow will not.
