These limbs were never listed in Bear Archery Catalogs, but if look at page 36 in the 1976 catalog, in the upper right hand corner is a small photo of take down case that's open and if you look real real hard you can make out the White Knight logo on the limb.................

there'll be a small problemo with finding them all as some are hidden really really good and may never be found ? just like the set I have now and several other sets I've owned & others I've checked out ?
Mine are original bear factory camo painted over the White Knights yes its true many sets of W.K.limbs were camo painted by bear.The camo painted W.K's will be a bit on the heavy side for target limbs and were sold as factory camo hunting weight limbs.
Here's another trick to look for ? look for white knights that are actually painted white ? the white painted limbs were sometimes black glass with red tip overlays....cool thread bd

serial number 3W15072 , C69" 35 #, B 64" 38#, and A 60" 40#. They have red tips.

Mine are marked
                C-68" 53#
                B 62" 58#
                A 58" 50#

     Serial # is 2 W1-3464

Does the poundage marked on these make sense ? On everybody else's the poundage goes up on the shorter riser. Could they be mismarked? They are white glass ,red tips and have the White Knight on them. They look like new and I'm having a hard time telling my self not to paint them camo !

Bob you might want to have them checked on a B or C riser, They are hard to find in over 50# range. There are a lot more 3's out there as there are 2"s.

Post by: Wapiti Chaser on March 16, 2010, 12:01:00 PM

These are #2 limbs and all of 58# at 28" on my B riser but I can't see how they would go down to 50# with shorter A riser.

Must be a factory screw up. It should be the other way around on the "A" and "B" risers. They are White Knight Limbs ??? At least we know better, Right?

Post by: Wapiti Chaser on March 16, 2010, 09:34:00 PM

Ya I think on a A riser they would be 60 not 50. Yes they are White Knight they have the Knight in Armor on them.

Mine are residing in Germany at the Teutoburger Wald:

C -68"-32#
B -62"-35#

These limbs are mounted to a original green magnesium RH-B-riser with only one screw at the bottom of the riser to mount a bow quiver.

And then:

2-W13685

C - 68" - 36#
B - 62" - 39#
A - 58" - 41#

These are mounted to an original black RH-A-riser with two screws for mounting the original Bear Bow quiver.
