Bjorn - Yes, those Sweetlands are Sweet.

Trap - These originally boxed 1950s Bear Arrows (with a few very early 1960s toward the bottom). All are options for this fall. Decisions, decisions. My favorites are the robin egg blue dipped X-200s which I've taken several animals with over the years. Had 3 dozen of them at one time, but now, many are broken. Also like the red dipped X-200s. Nothing quite like original 1950s Bear X-200 tapered cedar arrows out of the old Kodiaks. Oops, Just noticed there is one box of Microflites, second from bottom on right. I need to exchange them for some nicely colored X-200s.

Thanks Wade.Doesn't matter whos they are,they sure are "sweet".They are spined for 55# and I would love to hunt with them but I would be heartbroken if I lost or broke any of them as they make such a nice complete set.Now if I had as many complete boxes as you do maybe it wouldn't hurt so bad.Nice bunch of arrows.

Hey Daryl
Are the light blue Bear arrows with the diamond cresting late 50's arrows?? those are the ones I was planning on sending for the St. Judes combo, except gold shafting.

I just received these Ben Pearson arrows a couple days ago and thought I'd share them with you.

I've never seen arrows any finer built.  

Tapered Cedars, full length, beautiful crest work and nice fletching.

Not great pics, but here are 3 sets of my favorite original Bear arrows- (the yellow ones are unopened except for a small tear in the plastic)
The Blue & White dozen are near mint and GORGEOUS in person!!

Trap, Is that a 59 K-Special and is that the original finish? Reason I ask I have one that still has the original finish but was missing the leather strike plate and it does have the Feather rest...I put one of those reproduction big 59 rest on with the lines in it...Even with the original rest mine looks nearly new with no stress lines at all...Just a little yellowing on the side with the white glass...Wish I knew how to post a pic...Very Minty 40# 64"...

Keith, that's actually a 60 Kodiak Special Deluxe.

The 59 Catalog shows the 59 KS with no strike plate I believe.  I've seen strike plates that are similar to the one I have shown on 59s that are black in color.  

I have a 64" 59 KS with a groove worn into the riser from being shot numerous times without a plate.
