Title: Bear Type 1 A riser Pics, for my friend Felix in Italy
Post by: Danny Rowan on May 22, 2009, 09:07:00 PM
I have had this for a while now but am just getting around to posting this, sorry it took so long Felix.

Type 1 A riser,#2 limbs make a 58" bow and 60#@28".

What can I say, a classic beauty and a real shooter. Quiet as a mouse and hits where I look. I have always wanted one of these and when this came along I just had to buy it. It will stay with me for good. I have a set of #3 limbs that bodoc is refinishing that will make a 60" bow and 65#@28".

LOL, Doc. I would be afraid to even shoot that one with all that history on it. B riser or C riser? Looks like a C to me. That is one to treasure.

Doc,

I can read Papa Bear's autograph, but not the other two on my screen...  

Who else signed it?

I have a 2002 "A" handle, 2 sets of #1 FF limbs and 1 set of #3 white tip Grayling limbs.  It is undoubtedly my favorite goto bow.

Here I am shooting it at the 2008 Baltimore Classic.  I hit the 8 ring on a bear at I think it was 58 yards.   I DO LOVE THAT BOW!  (http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h21/VAbowbender/Hunting/Rob%20Pictures/Balt4-1.jpg)
