A little different two-tone Bear takedown

Redtail2 · June 21, 2014, 07:40:00 PM

I recently completed a business transaction with Bear Archery. The were great to work with and very generous in our dealings. As payment for our deal they gave me two new takedowns both a little different than the norm. I wanted to share them with the group. The 1st one is a "B" that was shown in January at the ATA trade show. It has a "birthmark" on the top of the riser. I like a gloss finish so I made it gloss.

The second riser is an "A" which was made to my specs. It was made with Black & Red diamond wood with a Black strip and no Compass. The limbs were made with black and white tips. Then the made it all gloss for me.

I feel very blessed to have these two beautiful bows. Bear was great to me and both shoot like a dream!

I know a few aren't big fans of Diamondwood but I took it to a shoot today and let several people shoot it, it was a show stopper! What do you think?

No John, they are not set up to do customs. I was in the right place at the right time and we took care of each other. Just nice folks.

Beautiful. Right time, right place, and talent! Love both of them. The red in gloss is gorgeous. I love gloss wood bows. I wonder if Bear is thinking what everyone else is thinking.

WOW!! That's the first "Modern" "A" I like as much as the early ones.

Pretty cool!

thumper-tx · June 21, 2014, 11:18:00 PM

Those look great. I have about given up on Bear as they have not made any left hand two tone risers in 2014. Go figure
