Bear longbow limbs for take down handles
« on: August 01, 2012, 09:35:00 PM »
After talking with Felix about Bear take downs he mentioned that they made a few longbow limbs. Anyone know about how many Bear made?

I am not sure how many they made, but I do know they were terrible performers. I had a pair of them a few years ago and was way less than impressed. They were cool though!

I was told by a Bear dealer that they were required to take set of these limbs. I know that all Bear dealers I knew had a set. Also, I shot these on an A riser and a B riser and I thought that the limbs performed better on the A,a little heaver of course, but better. An idea about 20 years ahead of time.

Cool ,I never new they made such a thing back then.....way ahead of the times.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
