Grant - sticknstring+ started another thread about the C Riser length..

http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=001877

- I have C1100 it measures 26" from hinge screw to hinge screw, the same as shown in sticknstring+ photograph in the other thread referenced above.

John - This is the signed T/D riser you should have... Fred inscribed it to another John that we both know... “GOOD HUNTING JOHN”, then Fred signed it “FRED BEAR 1987”.

I know you have seen this bow several times before. You might even be successful in talking me out of it...

Wade,
That is a beauty and I do remember seeing it before.I would like a chance at owning that one for sure.So many trades,so little time.

cacciatore · « **Reply #24 on:** February 06, 2009, 02:44:00 PM »

Wade, what's the serial #? I get one is B 5259, of what a year could it be?

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #25 on:** February 06, 2009, 03:23:00 PM »

caciatore - I'm not a T/D collector and would prefer to stay out serial number vs year discussion/controversy on the T/D Risers.

If no one responds to you about your B 5259 serial number, you may want to post the same question on this Trad Gang thread...

Ooooh, very nice Wade. Never been an "A" guy but that is very very nice. GY

Nice bow Wade. I would almost give my left arm to find an A riser with 60# limbs,LOl.The one Bear bow I have always wanted above all others.

Cacciatore B-5259 sounds like that would be a green stripe B riser from around 1983-1985 somewhere in there...bd

Thanks Doc,I really appreciate your support. Is your eye always open?

Ever since that incident where the locktite glued your eyelids to your forehead, right?

The first 39th Birthday Celebration for the “Jack Benny A”, September 2008, – Refinished A1319 after its first leg to the mid-western’s triple crown…

A little tape to dull up the riser overlays… Not a looker but a functional hunting T/D Riser especially suited for travel…

BowDoc - Yes, I got it from you in the spring of 2008. Thanks for mentioning its pedigree. It is a small world of collectibles. Trades and sales are a never ending circle. I have owned the same bow 2 and 3 times, but haven't got back some of those that I'd like to get back the most.

Put a nice scuff on the coin side of the Jack Benny A last fall but the finish is thick enough, that I was able to sand it, then rub it out. Being refinished, it doesn't have the beauty or value of an all original, but functionally, it serves as a nice hunting riser that you don't mind getting a scratch or two on, like you would an all original.

OK LH guys, where is the best hunting, Italy or France ?

gaitero · « **Reply #36 on:** February 09, 2009, 11:37:00 AM »

Hi Wade,
well, here in France, I hunt Muflons, Wild Boar and roe deer. You can ask to "Waldo" if he liked DIGNE LES BAINS.

cacciatore · « **Reply #37 on:** February 09, 2009, 01:04:00 PM »

In my area Chamois,Red stag,Roe deer,Muflon,Wild boar; plus a sailing boat cruise on the Mediterranean sea,free x 2. Felix

roofleakfixer - I got the Riser in 2008. I grew up listening to Jack Benny who always said he was 39 years old. On his 22nd 39th Birthday Party, he was actually 61 years old, but still claimed to be 39. You may have grown up listening to someone other than Jack Benny.

If the A Riser was actually first made in 1969, in 2008 when I got this Riser, it was 39 years old, thus the name "Jack Benny A". In September 2008 I took an antelope and a mule deer with it in Wyoming, then used it on whitetails around home. I've hunted only with 1959 and 1960 Kodiaks for years, except when I have to fly, but wanted to break in the "Jack Benny A" on its first 39th Birthday... Frankly, it makes a very nice traveling bow, but I am going back to my old Kodiaks full time.

All collectors are crazy, some more so than others...

I love the idea of those bows still hunting,and that generations of people pass them one each other kiping taking game with them, congratulations for you that keep them alive,Felix
