Well, after wanting & waiting for over 40 years... I bought a brand new Bear Custom Kodiak Compass T/D this year!!!!!

She sure is SWEET!!!!! 2 Tone Bubinga A-handle, with 50# Bubinga & White tipped #1 limbs. Mounted a new Great Northern side mount bow quiver. Then filled it with cedar arrows that my son Tyler made for me. 55-60# 29" BOP Fletched with 2 Orange Hen feathers & an Orange Barred Cock feather and Orange Classic nocks. All are tipped with old green Bear Razorheads!!!

To say I'm feeling LUCKY, is a HUGE understatement.....

I got mine out yesterday, if I get to go out I may take the old girl for a walk. Mid 70's B Mag with #3 limbs for a 64" bow, 46# @ 29.

I also have a A mag riser same vintage.

I started this spring with a B Mag and shot my Turkey with it. This fall I'm using an A Mag first and then I may use the B Mag I used this spring.

I got my first Bear TD the first part of the year from Big Jim, I've wanted one for years and finally bought one, It's an A two tone riser with
#3 limbs 47@28. I feel it will be my go to bow for a long time. Next weekend will be the first time to hunt with it, I'll be hunting in Northwest
Louisiana. Good luck to everyone!!!

Well if I get to hunt this year it will be with my Greenstripe TD , with late model 60lb limbs. It is my Go To bow.

Friend of mine in NY is shooting his A mag better than anything else right now; so he says bring one of your Bear td's to NY. I dusted off my A mag, put a set of #3 48#ers on and will hunt NY with it this fall. It's been awhile.

Several years ago I bought a "B" Magnesium bow. It was one of the silver/black ones and not exactly what I wanted so I customized it.
I don't remember who I got the idea from, but it worked out great. Thanks! (seems like it was JimB from Montana)

Charlie Lamb · « **Reply #15 on:** September 26, 2015, 08:50:00 AM »

Then a couple of springs ago while visiting a friend out west he brought out a riser he'd found at a local garage sale.

I didn't have to look twice and knew it was a bow I had history with. Matter of fact it was obvious from the way it was set up that I was the one that had done the work.

Anyway, I traded him out of it and that's my hunting bow this year. "B" Mag riser(first gen) with "C" limbs (64" bow) 55#@28". Except for adding a bow quiver and arrow holder I made no changes to it.

I'll add that I owned a first Generation "B" wood riser bow in 1969. Why I let it go is a long story.
I'd love to have another as it was one of the shootingest bows I've ever owned, but they are just too pricey for this old man.

Got her tuned up buddy?

I sat the gap once to see what I could see. Passed 4,saw 3 more,and 6 on the way out...

Charlie Lamb · « **Reply #17 on:** September 26, 2015, 08:56:00 AM »

Yeah Kenny, if I can I want to sit that gap again. I'll have my Bear in hand and it's shooting so sweet.
Arrows are sharpened as are my skinning knives.

I'll take one of the old Bear TDs out for a hunt once or twice this year -- maybe more.

tomwatson · « **Reply #19 on:** September 26, 2015, 10:11:00 AM »

Bubinga B Riser with #1 50lb limbs for me.
