They don't have that style but I know someone handles the calf hair ones.

Bob York sells some fantastic replacement calf-hair side plates and has some nice,white rug material that is like the original. Just ordered a couple of the small black leather latch pads for the take-down bows for a newly acquired signed A-riser that needed a little TLC. Also replaced the calf-skin side plate on it and it looks awesome. I can give you his e-mail address if you need it,he's a great guy to work with.  John

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that it may be against the rules to talk about Bear take-downs without showing pictures....

As John says Bob York is a great guy to deal with. If your looking for Bear items he may have it or know where to get it.

I'm new to the site, and I am also looking for the replacement calf-hair side plate and white rug.  I need them for my Kodiak Hunter, it still has the originals on it.  I have shot it so much since I got it that the side plate is starting to peel off. My side plate is brown and white, and the only ones I can find are black and white. I want to keep it as original as possible.  I've even thought about bleaching out one of the brown rugs!

Again,Bob York has some fantastic white rug material very similar to the original Bear-hair.

Thanks for the tip!  The new rest and side plate made my Kodiak Hunter look like new.
