So I came across this photo on the web:

 

How rare are the longbow limbs!?!  If they sold the TD with these I would have bought one ages ago!

If originals are hard to find, you think Rose Oak or somebody else would make em/ does make em???!!

Edit: ok I guess they only made em one year and they are super rare and shootability was questionable?  Hmm, guess if a bowyer made some it'd be an expensive one off.  But how cool would it be to have a Bear Takedown Hill bow!!?!

I have no personal experience with LB limbs on the Bear TD, but have heard and read that performance was abysmal.    :dunno:  

...and if you ask me about how it looks...  :p

Lol, I don't think it looks bad at all, but then again I think Zippers look great too, lots of guys don't like those.

If Rose Oak or Black Creek or somebody made LB limbs for the Bear I'd totally be on board.

A friend of mine had some back when Bear first came out with them--they were dogs! Slow--really put the "arch" into archery.  It's no wonder they didn't last long.  And I agree with Blackhawk on the looks thing!   "[dntthnk]"
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

I also have heard that these limbs were dogs.

Hey Bryan!  Glad to see you on TG.  I'll be sure not to go looking for originals then if I ever get a Bear TD.

I had a set. I love Bear bows and this is hard for me to say, but, they were the worst limbs I ever shot. If you want a set as to collect, great. If you want something to shoot, buy anything else.
