Fred Bear believed his takedown recurve bow was the finest bow he ever built. With his ultimate bowhunting recurve, an archer could have it assembled and an accurate arrow on the way in 60 seconds. So can you. The classic design was years ahead of its time, and still to this day archers and bowhunters rave about its performance and versatility. Easy to pack and shoot like a dream. Customize to your liking with different lengths and bow weights. These risers will fit any Bear Takedown limbs using the latch system from today's new models to the first ones rolled off the line.

The riser is radiused, and features a cut-on center shelf for instinctive shooting and easier arrow tuning. The riser has a unique look with its inlaid compass. Available in 3-piece Bubinga with accent stripe, or a 3-piece construction of black DymondwoodA® with red accent stripe. The riser is tapped with Bear 1/4" x 20 quiver inserts.

Available in right or left hand in the A or B model.

See chart for determining bow AMO length with different limb models of #1 or #3. Subtract 4" for actual string length needed. Recommended brace height: A handle 7¾" - 8¾", B handle 7" - 8"

Choose from a left or right hand bow (choose based on what hand you Draw the bow string with), and bow weight at a 28" draw length. Remember that with a traditional bow the weight will change depending upon what your draw length is. Bow weight will change approximately ±2½ pounds for every inch from a bows rated draw length. So a bow rated 45# @ 28" bow is roughly a 42½# @ 27" or 48½# @ 29". Draw weight is marked at the nearest 5# increment to actual weight, (2#'s under and 3#'s over). This is an industry wide standard.

Bow stringer not included. A bow stringer is recommended for stringing any recurve bow or longbow. Stringing a bow without a bow stringer, or stringing it backwards will void a bow's warranty. Click here to see our Bow Stringers. It is recommended to unstring your bow if you do not plan to be shooting more than week. Store your bow on its side, or hanging vertically from a peg. Never rest the bow on the lower tip for extended periods of time. Never dry fire the bow (shooting without an arrow).
