Hows the Bears point ability .Hows the over all quality.Hows the speed.I am looking at Dalaa's ,Widows,Predators and I currently have a Morrison ILF and Palmer.Those of you that have actually owned a newer Bear TD and some of the other bows ive mentioned what do ya think. I dont have the opportunity to shoot one because im left handed and the local shops only have rights available to shoot. :deadhorse:
I just received my Bear A handle after ordering at the Kalamazoo Expo at the end of January. I have Rose Oak #3 limbs which are 59# @ 31. This combination is just as fast and shootable as my Widow PSA. I like the bow a bit better than the Widow because to me it is part of history and has lots of mojo! Either bow will shoot better than I am capable. I will get some pictures up later today.
With aftermarket limbs (I love my Rose Oak set, but RER, Schafer and at least one other is making them) It'll shoot with the best of them. I like the riser mass, the grip (the early S-grip from the early 80's, not so much the newer grip) and the T/D system is really nice.
Bear apparently has slightly changed the stock limbs, so I can't comment on the new limbs, but limbs they had been making up until the redesign were sluggish compared to the bows you mentioned. They were a rock-solid arrow launching platform designed to maximize your chances of stacking arrows on top of each other, but if speed is your main concern...
Here's a review I did a while back on two of the aftermarket limbs.
