Title: Bear longbow limbs for take down handles
Post by: zipper bowss on August 01, 2012, 09:35:00 PM

After talking with Felix about Bear take downs he mentioned that they made a few longbow limbs. Anyone know about how many Bear made?

I am not sure how many they made, but I do know they were terrible performers. I had a pair of them a few years ago and was way less than impressed. They were cool though!

Thanks for the pictures.

I was told by a Bear dealer that they were required to take set of these limbs. I know that all Bear dealers I knew had a set. Also, I shot these on an A riser and a B riser and I thought that the limbs performed better on the A,a little heaver of course, but better. An idea about 20 years ahead of time.
