Post by: KENDALL TECHAU on October 22, 2009, 08:58:00 PM

I was wondering what year this bow was made.There's one on the auction site I'm interested in. Any info on them would be helpful. Thanks. Kendall

I think they were made 8-10 years ago.

I believe they were introduced in 1999. I had one I bought new, and had Frank Scott sing it, he dated it 1999. Now have a different one also signed by Frank and dated 1999.

I have seen them listed in the 2002 & 3 Bear Catalogs, not after that.  We found 3 New ones still in the fuzzy lined bow case last year, they were all LH Montana comm. models, when open up it was funny... since being stored in the warehouse since newly made and then placed into bow cases the fuzzy of the case was stuck all over the bows. Apparantly the finish on them had not fully cured or the heat from being in warehouse caused the fuzzy liner to stick all over the bows, like they were growing hair !! The bows had to be re-finished before offering for sale, all have since sold , the last just a month ago or so.
