Bear bow collectors...
« on: August 21, 2009, 11:58:00 PM »
Greetings All,

A friend showed me a bow he picked up the other day.  It's an old bear reflex longbow(Polar).  This thing is an 8-9, outa 10.  Another friend withhim picked up an old static tipped recurve as well, again another 8-9. outa 10...

I'm hoping to post pics to show but any idea what they are worth?

Happy hunting,
Jason

You haven't posted enough to say.
Just this Alaskan's opinion

There is no "Blue Book" of old bows.

The rule of thumb is that they are worth what someone will pay for them...no more, no less.
 
Right now they are worth what your friends paid.  Yhat's not to say that they might have gotten a really good deal, or really got burned.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.
