Flea market find today - Photo pg. 2- test drive finally
« on: August 16, 2015, 03:36:00 PM »
Picked up a Bear Alaskan 62" 45# KF16910 Yellow glass front and back and looks all Original......I had to pay $45 for the old girl. I think I'll clean her up and see if she still shoots.

Congrats on the find!  I picked up a Darton at a swap meet last weekend for the same price. Between the brand new $20 Selway quiver and the recurve, it's been a decent month for me with trad gear bargains.

Just hanging out after PT today so I started to clean up the Alaskan. So far no stress and the goofy finish is comeing off with some work. I twisted up a B-50 string and guess what.........NO LIMB TWIST. Tiller looks good so now I just have to finish cleaning her up and will give her a light touch up finish coat. May have gotten a good one.

For $45 ... Great find!! I love polars. They have such a cool appeal as the little brother to other models. They are solid and shoot well.
