It was a far cry from rosewood.  It was dyed actionwood dyed red with painted on stripes on that Super Kodiak or Kodiak.  I forgot to look at their nomenclature.

If it was dyed it still looked nice.Seems like alot of bows come in dyed action wood these days.

I saw some photos on another thread and they looked good to me, I think we should be happy they are doing what they are doing. Even though some folks think there is a ton of money with a large company making traditional bows, I doubt there is. They are employing workers and supporting families, asking questions and listening, from what I have read, sounds good to me. Nothing happens over night, takes time, tough competition, small little market and competing against super talented bowyers working much smaller operations with lower overhead. I'm just happy there not just sticking with the big money. My glass is half full (usually half empty). Just my opinion

Craig, take a look at Brandon Stahl's limbs. His company is Rose Oak Creations and they make some very nice replacement limbs. I have one set and another on order.

I have not looked at the new Bear TD, but check the locator pins, maybe they are different on the LH than the RH. Can't see why they would try to reinvent the wheel, but they're trying.

I finally saw some pictures of the new Bear offerings and personally I think they are pretty sporty. I also wonder why Bear is getting so much flak for using a dyed laminate when guys like Great Northern, Bob Lee, Martin and countless others don't get the same treatment. I look forward to seeing these this fall and hope others give them an honest chance.

I spoke to the Bear rep on the phone, again, today.  I am getting to where i recognize Jason's voice he has called me so many times this year.  Also, notice the advertisement in Traditonal Bowhunter Magazine lately?  

Bear is making an effort, as many of you stated.  Obviously reworking your traditional line is not the same as developing a new cam for a compound bow and Bear is aware of this.  If they didn't know it before they sure do now.  

I too, am looking forward to what they come up with.  I sell Bear and would LOVE to have new Bear bows to offer.  I recently started upgrading the strings on Montana's and it looks like Bear will run with that idea.  I think with customer feedback like they got at Cloverdale and Denton Hill, along with all the calls to dealers (I am not the only one they call) and some Escalade investment the future looks rosey.

No disrespect intended, but the stripes were not painted on.

One other point.  Bear employees are reading this thread.  Somebody asked earlier about it, well they are reading because they want to know what the traditional world thinks.

We (I) want a low poundage (40#) "A" riser takedown!
If they are available in October as they hope, I will buy one.
