Title: Bear Take Down Green Stripe and Fastflight String
Post by: tracker1 on January 19, 2015, 01:08:00 PM
I have a Bear Green Stripe Take Down bow coming to me this week.  It is supposed to be coming with a factor set of green tip bear limbs and a set of Rose Oak limbs.  Is it safe for the riser to use a fast flight string with the Rose Oak limbs???  Brandon Stahl told me his limbs were fast flight approved i'm just worried if i would do any damage to the riser.  I planned on using B-50 with the factory limbs.  Thanks for your input.

I have been using fast flight strings with Rose Oak limbs on vintage Bear risers for many years without any problems.

Feel free to use fast flight with the Rose Oak limbs, and B50 with the vintage limbs. You won't be hurting the riser in any way. You will be impressed at the way the fast flight and Rise Oak combination performs. You will need a higher spine arrow with the Risd Oak limbs. For me, all other things being equal, the Rose Osk limbs need a higher spine group in carbon shafts than the vintage Bear limbs.
Bear TDs are great bows. Have fun with it.

I have many sets of RO limbs and one of my prefered bows is a Green Stripe handle with RO limbs,they are been on this riser for 4 years now and I have taken quite a few games with a skinny ff string from AS, the bow is VERY quiet and fast. Go for it!
