Well...not for another month, but this popped up on another forum's classifieds and I jumped on it. I've been wanting a Bear Takedown since I was 13 years old. It was the first real takedown bow I ever remember seeing while I was practicing one night at my local JOAD program. I was totally mesmerized by this bow you could just clip together and go shoot, without even needing sights! I've never really gotten it out of my head, even though it took another 27 years before I got one.
It's an A riser in Bubinga (clearly) and phenolic with #3 limbs in 42# weight. At my draw (29 1/2") it's just right at my desired weight (44-45 lbs or so). I haven't been able to tune it yet - just shot about 50 or so arrows to get a feel. I love this thing. I started on a Samick Sage with 35# limbs. I knew this would be a huge step up, but I wasn't expecting the Bear to feel as comfortable at full draw as the Sage, despite nearly 8 more lbs of draw weight. I'll be getting a new string - I'm not just about the neon yellow one, but I don't think it'll be too hard to tune.
Here are a few of the obligatory pictures. There are many like it, but this one's mine. Not the greatest group ever, but I guess it's to be expected.
