Title: Bear Greenstripe finish problems
Post by: DYEBOW on September 18, 2010, 08:55:00 PM
I just purchased a Bear Greenstripe TD for $250.00 on another traditional site.  The seller advertised the bow with a cracked lower Limb. He told me he was shooting the bow at a shop and a salesperson told him he should never shoot he bow again due to the crack, I recieved the bow and to my surprise it was in great condition.and the limb was not cracked at all. It was about a 3" spot on the lower limb with some checking in the finish only. Bears were noted for doing this. Just wanted to warn folks not to always listen to your local archery shop. Mis information. Guess they were just schooled in compounds.

Dave,
He said he had about 20 messages on it. He hadnt checked his messages in a few days.  I finally did a search on the intrenet for his name and was lucking to get a phone#. Super nice fella.
