Title: Lame Bear bow info
Post by: Jon Stewart on October 29, 2008, 03:45:00 PM

Anyone every heard of a Lame Bear Bow. Guy I know has a long bow that has the following written on the side.  Lame Bear
                      ser # 91012
                      55# @ 28"
                      68"  RT

This bow came apart on him at the handle but really liked the way it shot and would like to find another one.  He would also like a little history on this bow.  Any help please.

Jon

OK, I knew it was coming.  Really that is the name inscribed on the bow.  Very nice looking bow until it blew up.  The owner would like to know something about it.

I have never heard of a "Lame Bear".

Now I am not into longbows, and there is probably a ton of back yard bowyers that I have never head of, some makeing really good stuff.


Good luck in your search

I will try in a day or two.  Have to make the guy a couple of strings for other bows first before I drive back to his archery shop.
