Title: Bear Archery Arrows
Post by: Craig/FL on August 09, 2009, 05:05:00 PM

Does anyone have any pics of the old Bear arrows from the late 60 to early 70. I want to make up a doz of wood arrows and would like to get some some ideas of what they looked like.

Also, I gonna try to find some Micro-Flites to shoot out of a 55# Super K (Fast Flight), I use to have a chart, does #7's sound about right?
Thanks, Craig

Craig... no pics, but I'd think you'd be better off with a #10 Micro-Flite. A #7 is probably way too weak for 55#.

Beautiful work Mr. Duncan  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

Craig, there's several threads here that addressed Bear arrows, with some great pics.  Might do a topic search for some ideas.

I shoot the #7 and # 8 for a 55# at 28" arrow length BOP and 180gr up front. depending on your draw and broadhead weight you could shoot #7 to #10.
That is also per the micro-flight chart.

Thanks guys for the pics, Those are some fine looking arrows you made Bowhawk Archer, the writing looks to be perfect compared to Blackhawks originals.
Thanks Charlie and Ron, I should have been more specific, I shoot a 29" arrow with a 145 gr Broadhead.
