I have one of these bows and have been having a great time with it. I belive they were only made for 3 years, 1959-61. Its in good chape for 50 years old and shoots great. No hand shock. Does anyone know more about these bows? Not sure why they were made for such a short time.

I have one in 47#. Still shoots great. There are alot of them around in low poundage, which leads me to think they were intended for target or gallery shooting where right or left hand shooters could use them. You are right, they were only produced for 3 years. Probably came at a time when Bear was changing their design to more compact bows with fancier risers and was not as popular.

I picked one up last summer at a garage sale. I was driving by and spotted it leaning on a fence, stopped and bought it for $2.00. Gray glass both sides, double shelf, 43#. Had a few scratches, put new bear hair and leather, and shoots very nice. I’ve seen several others with orange, or red glass, but only this one with gray.
