Title: HELP ID THIS BOW
Post by: PAPALAPIN on October 15, 2010, 10:15:00 AM

On Georgia Outdoor News, the question is "Is this a Bear Super Magnum, or not?"

Your thoughts please.

I can not tell from the pic if the bow is black micarta or black paint however if they are measuring from tip to tip on the back of the bow you know just tip to tip and getting 52" I would think the bow is actually 56-58 if measured correctly along the belly fallowing the curves of the bow maybe a Grizzly or Tigercat ? bd

I would say it is a Shakespeare Archery Cascade, 50 inches long unstrung and black riser and limb glass under the paint.

I don't believe it's a Super Magnum 48 per the far right example. I question as to it even being a Bear. I would say to carefully remove some of the paint and take a look.  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery149.jpg)

Most say it is a Shakespeare, but some say a Shakespeare also has a coin, that I don't see.

Waiting for Jasper to start camo removal to see what it is.  I will be very surprised if Papa Bears signature is on it.

Some Shakespeare bows had inlaid metal medallions and some had decal medallions, some had none.

The round depression that is circled and difficult to make out does not look like a Bear coin to me. Also the back side of the riser does not look right. A little removal of the paint around the coin area would be nice and answer the question. Nice Bow case. A little bright but nice.
