Title: bear tigercat?
Post by: team fudd on October 11, 2011, 01:43:00 PM
My local bow shop always saves anything for me that comes through the door that has a bear medallion on it and I walked in today to find a almost perfect bear tigercat, very near perfect shape,  serial # KN19878  amo 58" and 45#.  anyone have an idea as to year of manufacture? what it might be worth give or take in very good condition?  It shoots very well and is probably the quietest bow I  have ever shot.  Thanks in advance for any help

My guess, and a guess it is, would be mid-70s. There's one for sale on another forum for $100.00, which sounds about right.

Don't go by me, I got a mint condition '66 44#er at a local antique shop for $12.00! Really nice shooting, under-rated bow IMO. Seriously, I think $100-$125 is about right.

I paid 125 so I think I did okay considering the condition.  It is like new with very good cast, almost dead quiet.  I forwarded it to a friend in minnesota who is just getting into traditional archery.  Should make a great first bow for him.  thanks again for all the help

Matt, you say you paid $125 for a Wildcat?
