Bear Black Bear II. I should take a picture, it's so simplictic. I believe it's an 83...

Adjustments for 50, 55, 60, round wheels, killed and recovered one deer with it in 8 years, age 15-23...shot fingers, full length 2117 Game Getters and 160 gr Thunderheads, talk about a bad setup...

Hey, I didn't have the learning curve then.

I believe it was a browing coyote and steped up to the timberwolf. Man back in the days where you actual had to have a 10 yard pin, cause if you used your 20 you would shoot over them.

Then i bought adarton in 1979 which I used until 1990. owned 2 darton bows (Trailmaster? and a Mustang) t/o 90's. stopped bow hunting for several years, got back into it last year with my 1993 darton mustang. I just purchased a ross 337 for this upcomingseason.

Bear Black Bear. 40lb max wheel bow. Gamegetter arrows. HUGE broadheads (Anderson?). Shot fingers with it. Still remember those brightly painted brass pins. I could hit a paper plate a whoppin 15 yds and I thought I was the "chit". I think I was 10yrs old. Killed a snake with it.
