[turtle927]

It is in new unshot condition and I wanted to shoot it one of these days. Not interested in selling at this time.

Which one are you talking about?  The MTD?  The Cougar?  The Lynx?

The MTD was based on the wood Warthog compound riser, while the metal Cougar riser was based on the Cougar Magnum compound....although both used the same limbs.  The Lynx was based on the Lynx compound and used limbs that were unique.  All three used ball bearing limb pivots, which was inconvenient given the ease with which the ball bearings would disappear when the bow was taken down.

Being based on compound risers, all three were WAY over engineered.

The one I have is 68 inch 37 pounds with a silver metal handle and white plastic type grip. Has the ball bearings and I was thinking I could put these limbs on an old wood compound handle that I have.

Wadde,

That would be a Cougar Takedown.
