I would like to hear from those that have a 'A' riser and 'A' limbs making a 56" bow. How do you like it? Finger pinch? Loss of stability?
I have a 28" draw. thanks, ~ joe
Sorry I can't answer your question exactly, but I do shoot a Bear 1965 48" magnum, and I love it, I have a 26 1/2" draw.
i have no experience with one, but if I was going to go for a takedown bear that would be it. (I only draw 27, and love shorter bows).
I had one years ago when I was young, 67lbs. at my 29" draw, I remember finger pinch and stacking.
Joe,I like my original Type 1 A risers and I use them with the #1 limbs, I don't find a big difference from the B with the same limbs,probably same geometry having the same limbs. I draw 29".
Joe: I use a 56-inch Bear TD for turkey hunting with 50# limbs. It's the shortest bow I own. I like it. I've found Bear takedowns to be quite stable and forgiving. I have a 28-inch draw, and I do detect a bit of finger pinch. Not really very bothersome unless I shoot a lot of arrows. I only shoot it for about six weeks, before and during turkey season, so the pinch doesn't become a problem.
Joe, My favorite bow. I draw 27.5", no pinch.
Thanks for the responses.
Keep'em coming if you got'em.
I have one (A riser with #1 limbs. I draw 29". It is every bit as smooth as my 60" recurves
I had a magnesium A-riser with #1
limbs. Even though I draw 30", shooting it nearly everyday I became accustom to the feel. I felt like I shot it just fine and didn't have any problems. Today I've gone in the other direction (B-riser w/#3 limbs/ 64"bow). I prefer the longer bow but feel I could still shoot a 56" bow if I wanted too. I think the toughest thing would be to switch back and forth between bows that have significant differences in length.
Joe vt or anyone Would you who builds bear limbs I know roase Oak but no contact.Does Bear sell limbs only.Thanks Kip
3 Rivers and Big Jim sell limbs only. Both are sponsors here.
One thing I love about sites like this is how you can take things away fom them even if they don't diectly pertain to you. From threads on here I have decided with my 29+ draw length I'm not goingto bother playing with anything under 58"
Shooting a 58" bow with a 15" riser isn't like shooting a 58" bow with a 20" riser!
When I was drawing about 28", I preferred the #3 limbs on my short riser. On my B riser I preferred the #2 limbs.
I have both the A and B riser. For stump shooting and a 3D course the A riser shoots fine. When shooting indoors at the local club for score the B riser will add a few(very few) points. PS On a good day I have a 28" draw.
hi, this is a very good bow, hunting. It is magniable, courtyard and especially fast (my opignion)
