RE: bear bows
I assume you're talking about a take down model? If so, is it one that has folding clamps holding the limbs oninstead of bolt's?
If it has the folding clamps, it's a Kodiak Takedown. That is a bow that routinely sells for a thousand bucks on Ebay. Don't even think about putting those limbs on a compound!

RE: bear bows
Oh....When you said "bow" I thought you meant a recurve. [&:]Everyone knows a compound isn't a bow.

You might could modify the riser or limbs from a newer Bear Hunter TD and make it work. I really don't know because it's been years since the last time I saw a Bear compound with a wood riser and really don't remember the riser configuration.

RE: bear bows
Seriously though, we'd have to see the riser to actually know. It's kind of hard to always get the advice you need over the internet. If I were you, I'd probably go to my local shop and talk to some guys there and see if they would be able to help me out.

RE: bear bows
well now that i have some real help.....the story from the local archery shop was this was one of the firstcompound "bow i guess" that Bear made.And that they also made a recurve "bow" with the same riser at that same time. I just thought someone might have an idea as to what bow I was talking about and might even no where I could get a set of these limbs I have checked Ebay but no luck yet........Thanks The only thing on the bow is the Bear name
