So I have been dreaming about a couple of Bears for some time. One being the TD with an A handle and I thought #1 limbs, making a 56" bow. Either at #50 or #55 lbs. I had an opportunity to shoot a new one today. It was marked #55 ( which later scaled 57), the handle felt good for a production bow and it shot where I pointed it. I don't believe I would buy the #1 limbs though, 56" is not for me. 2 questions
1. There was a creak/click sound from the limb pockets about 26 or 27" into the draw. Anyone experience that?
2. When unstrung the limbs had some play in the pockets, shake the riser and the limbs jiggled a bit. Any experience with that?
Then it was on to the 59' replica...I have a 64" 47# original so I had some expectations.
This new replica was a 60" marked 55# shot real nice, I actually loved the grip. It also shot where I pointed..... seems to be an unfortunate occurrence when I am scouting a new bow. She felt a bit stiff so we scaled it also, 59#
. ( quality digital scale) The guy scaling these bows missed the boat on rounding numbers.
I left with neither bow but still lusting over these beauties, I am pretty sure my Tolke's gave me the eye when I got home.
