Bear Take Down #1 or #3 limbs for 29" draw?

[Chad Orde]

So I got a 2014 Fred Bear Custom Kodiak Take Down back in Nov and shoot it fantastic! Shot two does with it in Dec even. So here is my question I pull close to 29" and I have a B riser and #1 riser ie 60" bow. They don't make the 2 limbs anymore so I have to jump to 64" bow. How much smoother will the #3 limbs be at 29" draw then the # 1s? Need some advice stay or play....

Haven't tried the #1 limbs, but I'm shooting a B riser with #3 limbs - as Col. Sherman Potter said - "there aren't enough o's in smooth to describe them."

Play a little - life is too short not to.

Your draw will probably increase a bit from the extra smoothness.

I draw 29" and have several Bear TD bows. A set of #1 limbs on a B riser is very smooth at a 29" draw. No need to go to longer limbs unless you like a longer bow. I have found a Bear TD that is 60" long (either A with #3 or B with #1) is just about perfect for my 29" draw.

[Chad Orde]

Hmm keep it coming gents!

Chad I draw to 29.5 and with my B riser and #1 limbs I have no pinch or stack. I recently went from a 64 inch longbow to this rig. All I can say is wow! It works great turkey hunting...we will see about bears next month  

[Chad Orde]

Yea mine is really smooth to different feel in the left arm do to the grip being different then my long bows but I think the body is getting used to it. I shoot it fantastic

I agree that any 60-inch riser/limb combination on a Bear T/D will work well  to 29 inches or so.  That being said, the longer limbs will be smoother.  Still a fair selection old #2 limbs available.

[Chad Orde]

I will probably buy a set at some point to try and for back ups. Longer is smoother most always.

[Yellow Dog]

If you can find a set of #2 RER limbs they are an ideal compromise between the #1's and 3's on a B riser. Only problem is Kevin no longer makes them.

[MikeM]

My draw is 30" and I definitely prefer the #3 limbs.

[M60gunner]

I have two sets of #3 limbs for my Bear risers. My draw is only 28 in but I do notice a smoother draw especially with the 60# limbs. The other set is Rose Oak and are 55# at my draw. I can shoot these all day like my 55# longbow.

[Sam McMichael]

If it is all that smooth, why be concerned about whether the second selection would be better? On second thought, this is a perfect excuse for another bow, so we will expect you to get it and file a report very soon.

[Chad Orde]

Yea I've looked at the RER and they are steet with the static design and all.
Rose Oak is a 8 month wait which isn't to bad.
Wish I could test drive them and go from there. LOL

[smokin joe]

Rose Oak is now making #2 limbs as well as their great #1 and #3 limbs. I highly recommend Rose Oak limbs. They are fast, smooth, stable and quiet.

[Chad Orde]

Yea I talked to Brandon a couple weeks ago need to fill out the form and get it back some time soon. I think black glass was just over $400. Bear limbs are around $340 probably hundred difference.

[Hamishhog]

I draw 29" and unlike others here I did not find the #1 limbs particularly smooth; I noticed the stack for that last inch or so. They were fast though. The #3s are smooth but I didn't like the Bear TD as a 64" bow. That's just personal though as I have other 64" bows I am fine with.

#2s are the ticket for me. I had the RERs and they were nice.

[William F. Adams]

I'm not seeing an order form at roseoakbows.com for takedown limbs, just for the ultra delight recurve.

[trubltrubl]

call Brandon at Rose Oak  he will help you out or email him...I love mine on my bear takedown very smooth and fast

[R.V.T.B.]

I have several of the Bear takedowns.  A risers with #3 limbs and B risers with #1 limbs, both combinations make a 60" bow.  I draw 29" and have no problems with stacking with either set up.  The #3 combination may be a little smoother and the #1 combination may be a little faster.  Both make for a nice bow.
