Bear 50th Anniversary Take Down RH, Black Maple

50th Anniversary Take Down RH

50 years ago Fred Bear's Take Down recurve bow system revolutionized the archery world. Bear Archery is proud to reintroduce this classic with their 50th Anniversary Take Down recurve bow riser.

The Bear 50th Anniversary Take Down riser is Available in A and B riser models. They feature the classic 1969 heal horn style grip for a deep feel and consistent grip. The riser features the classic Bear medallion on one side with the Bear 50th Anniversary logo around it. The famous Bear compass is inserted on the other side of the riser.

Choose from wood combinations of Black Maple with a Phenolic Black Stripe, or Bubinga and Phenolic with a Phenolic Black Stripe.

The shelf is radiused and cut-on center for instinctive shooting and easier arrow tuning. The shelf is 1/8" above the grip for closer arrow-to-hand trajectory and consistent arrow flight. The riser is tapped with Bear 1/4" x 20 quiver inserts.
Available with A or B riser in right or left handed. Color/Wood options of black maple with a phenolic black stripe, or bubinga and phenolic with a phenolic black stripe.

Please note, this riser does not come with a bow string.

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 7" - 8", B handle 7" - 8".

Bear Takedown options:
A-Riser with #1 limbs = 56 AMO
A-Riser with #3 limbs = 60 AMO

B-Riser with #1 limbs = 60 AMO
B-Riser with #3 limbs = 64 AMO


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 2 pounds for every inch from a bows rated draw length. So a bow rated 45# @ 28" bow is roughly a 42# @ 27" or 47# @ 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. 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).
