Title: Bear Tigercat info please?
Post by: Forest Archer on October 18, 2010, 07:55:00 PM

Picked up a Bear TigerCat today from 1969, has a flush silver coin, 62" and 48# upper silk screen on the back and lower on the belly. What wood am I looking at here? Any other notable thoughts considering this bow?   Thanks

Well a little past reading brings up the wood as Bubinga? Also it is brown glass and white tips. Everything sound common for this year?

Yes, that sounds about right.It could also be Shedua wood in the riser. I have a 67 that has Zebra wood in the riser. Those are great shooters, maybe not the fastest bow but real easy to shoot.
