Bear Bow information
« on: November 10, 2022, 01:53:42 PM »
I could use some information about this bow.  A friend just gave it to me.  It hadn't been strung or shot in over 20 years.  He hunted with me using this bow, probably 40 years ago.  Also included a quiver ( thus the brass inserts in the riser for the quiver) and 8 aluminum 2117 shafts.  I put on a new string and the limbs are very straight.  Have shot it a couple times at the indoor range and it shoots pretty good.  I know this is not an expensive bow, but I would like to get more information about it if possible.
Thanks

Bow had a lot of dust on it from years past.  I removed the quiver and cleaned the bow with a good furniture polish.  Looks much better now.
Sorry for the double photo - I'm still learning how to post photos on this site.

Are they worth much?  Sure shoots good for an old bow.  My shoulders sure like it after shooting a 70 lb. bow for nearly 50 years.

That is a a sweet Bearcat.  I have a 1966 Zebrawood LH version at 48#.  Yours is 66" AMO and great shape.  I bought mine in 2012 for $100.  Saw one (1966 zebrawood) this year go on this site for about $170.  You have a found a jewel.
