Hello guys, this past weekend I picked up a bear 76er and it was a great buy... I am thinking of sanding down the riser and repating the riser.... could some one tell me the colors the risers where as I want to make it as close as I can...
Thanks guys for the help.....

They came in any combination of red, white, or blue limbs and risers.

The two on the left are the shorter, Custom, length while the one on the right was the long, Supreme length.
There was also a "hunting" version that had a brown riser and green limbs, or the other way around, I forget. It was around 45-55# and was called heavyweight. Most of them were 35# and under. There is one on the 'Bay now.
It was my first "real" bow that wasn't cut from a sapling in the woods. It takes the same plastic grip that you find on the Bear magnesium handle takedown bow.

I had the hunting version, it had a green riser and brown limbs and a 50lb. draw weight. The color of the riser IIRC was sort of a light OD green if that makes any sense.
