I never was that crazy about Bear takedowns, so I didn't pay much attention to the different versions. Same thing with lots of cars. I have been driving cars for 45 years, and have shot trad bows for 55 years, but I never even heard of a Green Stripe and don't know anything about many cars. I do have 4 dozen trad bows, and not a single one of them is a Bear. All but a couple are custom bows. It's kinda what a fella is into that holds his interest. Obviously, that bowyer is not into Bear bows.
