Title: Old Bear Archery stuff- File, heads, wax
Post by: Jim Espinosa on October 16, 2009, 08:22:00 PM

I just bought some archery stuff and found this Bear Archery equipment in the lot.
I was wondering if anybody has a guess how old this stuff is ?
Thanks

The Bear Razorheads are 1964, the rest is possibly around the same age. Someone with more experience will be along shortly.

Rick is, of course, right about the heads. I'd put the date around '68 or '69. The converta-point system postdated the head design so if they were all bought at the same time, the date I mention is probably pretty close. I purchased all of these items as late as 1976 or '77. GY

The string wax that I bought at the Naval Exchange in Norfolk looked just like that. Still have some, come to think of it. Bought it in '69 or '70.
