Overdraw on Bear Bow
I am just getting into bow-hunting now that my sons are getting old enough. I picked up a nice, used Bear Whitetail II (60#). It shoots well enough for me, but I want to add an overdraw. Since it is an older bow I am having trouble finding technical info.
My questions are:
What overdraws (and rests) will fit this bow?
Is there a good place on the web to get technical info on this bow?
THANKS for any help.

RE: Overdraw on Bear Bow
First off welcome John
WHY????
Overdraws are IMO a creature of the past. They make a bow much harder to shoot consistently and accurately. With an older magnesium riser you may not be able to get the clearance for broadheads along the window that you need for an overdraw.
With the advance of carbon arrows there is no need to use an overdraw to lighten up an arrow.
I recommend a good prong rest - like a GKF or similar - and enjoy
