Title: Signed Bear T/D
Post by: SAM E. STEPHENS on July 14, 2011, 12:42:00 PM
I was the winner on this great Green Stripe beauty I have been wanting one a while and if you got em you need to use em. Its just very neat to hunt with a bow Fred had in his hands,,,,,,Sam,,,,,

Congratulations Sam!
That is one of the nicest green stripe risers I have ever seen. Very much resembles a Grayling riser. A wonderful collector piece.
Also congrats on a great hunt......Philip

That is cool! I saw a grizzly this weekend that was signed by Fred in 1986, I wish I had the money for it and the 64"59 but,I had to pass.
Whats unique about the riser?It is cool looking.

It is the color of the riser grey on one side of the Green stripe and blonde or light tan on the other not a lot of em like that.It is my understanding this is what makes it a unique Green stripe most are grey on both sides , it sure makes the ink stand out where Fred Bear signed it.

Very nice signed green-striper.I like the light wood/dark wood contrast.Reminds me of my signed Grayling riser.I only had a description when I bought it years ago and remember when I pulled it out of the packaging how delighted I was with it's light wood.Really makes Fred's signature stand out.It's a great feeling to hold one of these signed risers that Mr. Bear had in his hands.Great bow,congratulations and enjoy.
 Here's a partial pic of mine with some custom Trap made arrows,just like Fred's. (http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e24/detroitdeerslyer/TrapsFredBearreprosI.jpg)
