Title: Need advice from Bear Archery experts
Post by: NY Bowhunter on November 24, 2008, 09:02:00 AM

Hello, I am seeking some advice and information on a Bear Cub Bow. I am looking for the date it was manufactured and how to correctly measure the brace height for this particular bow. Here are the information that has been written on the bow:
1. Back of upper limb - Bear Glass Powered Cub. 2. Back of lower limb - Bear Archery Company Grayling, Michigan. U.S. Pat's. 2,423,765., 2,613,660., 2,665,678., Canada, 1953.
3. Inside lower limb near grip - A, VN328, 62", 50#.

All help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

NY Bowhunter
