More eye candy - you guys created a monster!

[CrookedStick]

Thanks a lot, now I have the sickness too.

Made a trade today with a friend for an A riser in the 1500 serial number range.  I'm guessing series 1,  1969-70.  Black number 1 limbs with the narrow white tips.

That's too many bows in too few months, is there medicine for this sickness?

 

[TRAP]

Yeah...........More Bows....Cant beat it, might as well feed it.

That's a very nice bow!!!!

Take two bows and call me in the morning!      

[seboomook]

Very nice! That one looks mint.

[yellow bow]

that one sure looks sweet. Those are nice nice looking limbs also, little white tips and dimples. Whats the specs. on the limbs? gold ink too? GOOD TRADE!

I would say one thing for sure.You need to rid yourself of that A riser and limbs as soon as possible.When your in rehab the first thing they tell ya is to stay away from things like A risers and white tip limbs.As your Dr.I suggest to help yourself get better you send that A to me right away.You will feel lots better in the morning...Ph.D.Archer Bowman

Oh how sad.Yet another victim of this terrible,relentless disease.When will we find a cure.

[KYArcher]

Eye Candy for Sure! I wish you hadn't done it, because I don't have one of those and I do have the sickness. Beautiful Bow thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the medicinal suggestions. It's no wonder folks don't trust doctors!

YB--yes, gold ink...naive budding collector that I am, what's the importance of the gold ink and dimples? And why don't all the t/d limbs have dimples? Specs: A-45, B-43, C-39

It looks like the previous owner drew designs in black marker on the white tips presumably to camo since the limbs were in camo sleeves.  What to you think I can use to remove the marker without hurting the tips/limbs or should I just leave them?

In search of the cure....

I need a friend like that.. Saweeet find 4sure.

[d. ward]

Gold ink was the earlier limbs.Dimples also indacate earlier limbs maybe even the original limbs take came with that riser.If I were going to try and remove the magic marker I would most likely use finger nail polish remover 100% acetone finger nail polish remover.Good looking bow bowdoc

[Horney Toad]

That is a dandy little riser.

[yellow bow]

crookedStick,what Bowdoc said. just take your time with the nail polish remover,those tips will clean up just fine. Are the latch bears still there? I see it has the optional accessory bushing. Brace her up and shoot her and let us know if you two get along. Now all you need is an early B and C handle.  

[Falk]

Wow - I am JEALOUS
You can have the limbs - but send over that riser anytime  

[CrookedStick]

YB--Rest easy, we get along just fine            Sent 50 arrows through her tonight and it looks like I have a new favorite. I can only get 9 yards in the garage, but it looks like the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

And yes, it has the latch bears.  Now that you mention the accessory bushing, I guess that puts it about 1970 vintage, or did Bear offer those on the early ones too?

BTW, before I knew better I fondled two C handles in the 1700 serial number range and decided the price was too high--unfortunately now I know it wasn't!

Falk--sorry, I don't think that riser wants to leave   :D

CS,in 1970 the accessory bushing was optional,in 1971 it became standard. I'm guessing yours was ordered that way in 1970 or it is an early 1971.Hope this helps.
