Falling for a vintage Bear Black Bear
« on: March 14, 2015, 05:51:00 PM »
I picked up a mid 70's Bear 'Black Bear' recurve last Summer at Cloverdale.

I had not shot it much until recently.  It's one of those bows that plain shoots where I look.

Anybody else have a bow that just seems effortless as compared to others?

Best regards, Skychief.

Many folks think they have to order a fancy custom bow with all the bells and whistles to get a nice shooting bow.

My Charron Archery Ambush bow is like that. I saw it, fell in love with it, shot it, and bought it.

Often, those "lesser" reproduction bows are incredible shooters.

Congrats on your find, its all over now... you wont be able to walk past an old bow for sale and leave it on the table.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
