Well, it arrived.....

My 1968 Super Mag arrived last night. It really feels and looks like an old friend. I am so pleased. It needs some work and I have already talked to Joe and as of next week with a deposit I will be in line for a "spa treatment" for her..
Till my time comes up I am going to shoot her a bit and perhaps even take her turkey hunting... I can feel her desire to be in the woods... LOL
Here she is, 1968 Bear Super Mag 48.. 48", 46#@28"... a bit of history.. and my history also

Nice looking recurve. A classic for short draw archers. It's a great find.

I did not remember its draw curve but its there. I have not put it on a scale yet but it feels like it pulls 46# from the start. I shoot three under and do not notice any "pinch"

These Bear Mags are easy to look at. Looks to sling an arrow! Stick something!

I have always wondered how those bows, with their extended risers, would shoot. And what's the brace height on that bow?

Landman:
Right now, with a stock orig string with very little twis it sets at 9" at the grip throat. I am going to check with some of the guys over on "collecting" to see what they may know

Just went out in the barn and shot the "little Devil" First shots lots of string noise... put on (temp) two bundels of cat wiskers.. Very little noise. Groups were OK but I need to tune some arrows for it.

If you draw 28" or more, you might want a brace height of 8 1/4" to avoid overstressing at full draw. If 9" works for you, it works for you.

Tony:
9" is a static string... almost not twist. I draw 28" dead nut. I wondered if it should be lower.
I have had it strung for 24 hrs and shot over 100 arrows out of it and its still at 9" right in the grip throat.
