Bear Archery arrows, what color fletching?
« on: April 11, 2013, 06:05:00 PM »
I have some old Bear wood shafts that are brown, blue logo and a black nock. They are 50-55# spine. What was the original fletching color?

Thanks

I have one like that..or at least I did...I think it was one natural barred shield and two red barred shields. I can't remember the nock color.

I have quite a few of those, all are original bear feathers, all of the ones I have all use 3 solid feathers of the same color, no cock feather.   3 white, 3 red or 3 blue, all on the brown shafts with the blue logo and crest.

I just looked at a few I have, do they have black cresting? If so the ones I have, all three feathers are barred, two are red and one white. Shawn

I think the brown arrows with blue Bear logo were mid to late 1970s models.  

2 white-1 black or 3 of the same color as Hobow stated would be my guess.
