Title: Bear td supreme review needed
Post by: nevada cody on June 12, 2009, 10:37:00 PM

Hi i have been wanting to order the new bear td supreme, for quite some time .
i own a couple of bw bows, that i love ,they shoot great ,and they are very tuff and durable bows ,
I have read bad things about the new bear takedowns , limbs delaminating risers cracking ? .
i have a friend that has an old bear 60" td it shoots really nice but it does stack at my 29" draw .
I really like the looks of the new bear supreme ,but it is lots  of money to spend if quality is an issue,
i would really like to hear opinions or reviews about the bear td supreme from people who has shoot them or is a owner of 1
thx Cody

Its a beautiful bow.I have never shot or owned one.I have heard there are a few finish issues with that bow.I have owned one of the Bear, Three Rivers archery A-handle takedowns & I absolutely love it.Its light & a very good shooter as far as point of aim.& the Bear takedown system is in my opinian the best out there.Good luck.....

I've had mine for about 9 months now and have no complaints yet. I've experienced NONE of the problems I've heard some have had. This bow shoots great, is very quiet and I think looks gorgeous!    :)  

(I did however, re-finish mine in a satin finish as the high gloss finish it came with was just too much for this old hunter to "bear"!!)   :saywhat:

Bear Archery should pay you for that photo.

Your bow looks like the Alpha Dog Supreme.

Bravo!

Ya know, just in case somebody tries to STEAL it!!  :saywhat: ----

You need to stop showing that pic Ron or I'm coming back after my old bow!  Remember, I know where you live!!
  :bigsmyl:  

The Supreme TD, at least that one  :) , is a notch above anything Bear has put out since the Signature Series.  The fit between the limbs and riser is excellent with no slop, and the whole thing is just put together wonderfully.  If it only had the S-grip of the early risers... well, then it'd still be mine!

Here it is before the refinish.
