Bear T/D Original & Never Shot...till Yesterday
« on: January 22, 2017, 12:03:00 PM »
I've had this Bear T/D for over 35 years...all original and never shot.  It came with 50 pound #1 limbs and at that time they were too light for me.  So I just stuck it away.  Now 50 pound limbs are too heavy for me...but a good friend Yellow Dog on Trad Gang offered me a set of newer #1 Bear T/D limbs...40#@28 on an A riser.  
Yesterday I got the Bear out and shot it for the first time ever.  Now I understand why there is so much chatter about this bow.  It feels & shoots so nice, very pretty, and I Love It.  What made it even more special was yesterday was my Birthday...tippit

Jeff, a very happy birthday to you.  You just opened a bottle of 'fine wine' there.  Glad Mike could be of some help in the limb department.  He always seems to 'come thru'.  Enjoy it.

Happy Birthday.......I was just out shooting mine, and you are right. They shoot and handle just great. Really neat that you kept all that time and never shot it.   :thumbsup:

Just purchased a set of Bear #3 Red Tip limbs, 42@28, for my Bear mag (A) making a 60" bow. What a pleasure to shoot. Not as pretty as yours Jeff, but shoots straight and fast enough. Happy birthday my friend. Enjoy.   :clapper:

Very nice. Love my takedown. Couldn't imagine not shooting it for 35 years!

Oh yeah,  happy birthday! Have a great year!
