Bear Type 1 A riser Pics, for my friend Felix in Italy

Danny Rowan · May 22, 2009, 09:07:00 PM

I have had this for a while now but am just getting around to posting this, sorry it took so long Felix.

Type 1 A riser,#2 limbs make a 58" bow and 60#@28".

What can I say, a classic beauty and a real shooter. Quiet as a mouse and hits where I look. I have always wanted one of these and when this came along I just had to buy it. It will stay with me for good. I have a set of #3 limbs that bodoc is refinishing that will make a 60" bow and 65#@28".

Danny, I got one kinda like that...but it's got all these dang scribbles on it. No good for dragging around the woods

Very nice bows. Doc I can get those scribbles off for you. :D

Danny Rowan · May 22, 2009, 09:55:00 PM

LOL, Doc. I would be afraid to even shoot that one with all that history on it. B riser or C riser? Looks like a C to me. That is one to treasure.

tippit · May 23, 2009, 07:20:00 AM

Danny, It is B riser and it won't see the woods except behind closed doors

cacciatore · May 23, 2009, 07:26:00 AM

Jeff,so now you need another one to take to the woods!!!

Danny Rowan · May 23, 2009, 07:04:00 PM

Doc,

I can read Papa Bear's autograph, but not the other two on my screen...

Who else signed it?

Thanks, Bryan, just couldn't make them out! Should have guessed Frank, at least...

I have a 2002 "A" handle, 2 sets of #1 FF limbs and 1 set of #3 white tip Grayling limbs. It is undoubtedly my favorite goto bow.

Here I am shooting it at the 2008 Baltimore Classic. I hit the 8 ring on a bear at I think it was 58 yards. I DO LOVE THAT BOW!
