New Bear TD

[Night Wing]

Bottom line, find one of the new Bear TDs, feel the grip and then shoot the bow. If you like it, order one.

If you can't find one to shoot, if a TG member lives close enough to you (make the drive), ask him if you can shoot his new Bear TD.

As for the $800 price, I like to put things in their proper prospective which means......you're only on this Earth "one time".

Brent, I rounded the front of the grip, I did not really like the edges up there. Then I took a bit off the heal, you can see that in the pic of the bow hanging there, just up and right of the compass.

I did it with a dremel tool, sandpaper and steel wool, just sprayed with minwax poly afterwards. looks great and feels a lot like my old type 1.  

Chad, the quiver has cost me several deer this year ! they just look up and see the ugly thing and run. At least that's my story LOL, hope john reads this. His quivers are great I have already bought three of them.

As for the limbs, I have 3 sets now:
#1 45
#3 50
#3 55

I guarantee the #45 have over a thousand shots, no cracks no marks. I have had the after market limbs too. I really don't think these stock limbs can be beat for the price. Not fancy but functional.

Does anyone know if the new Bears are CNC produced?

I've read mixed reviews on other sites about cosmetic issues with the limbs, however, I'm very pleased with my 2011 A riser and #3 limbs.

It's not a Widow...but then again, I did not want a Widow.  Great bow in my opinion, but now got to save up and get that bubinga B riser.

No they are not CNC completely if at all.  There was a televised tour through the plant not too long ago and they shape the handles with a duplicator tracing an oversize pattern.  I can't remember if the blanks are bandsawed  by hand or not, but overall the process is fairly old school.  I was thinking it must have been basically the same equipment used in Grayling. Maybe someone who has done more than watch a tv show can chime in and correct me.
