Bear recurves, need help

[Droptine26]

I have 3 older bear recurves, just looking for some info on the date of manufacture. I figure there are probably some experts on here who could help or get me pointed in the right direction.

Try posting this thread on the Trad History/Collecting forum.

Yep,  trad history & collecting forums will be the place.  Pictures of your bows will get you accurate answers.

only thing under the shelf plate on my older bear bows id the actual poundage

If a date is under the rug, my guess it was probably put there by previous owner.  I have never heard of Bear doing that, but then again we learn stuff every day.  Usually, only the wt. was put on by Bear.

Now, if you have a 59 Kodiak that scales 59#...    :D
