I'm not sure how far from center those old Bear bows are cut but I don't believe they are close to center.I think 2216 will be extremely stiff out of a bow like that.If you could measure the degree of center cut,someone may be able to run it through the calculator.Barring that you will have to do some trial and error tuning,which should be done,even after using the calculators.Personally,I would start with a 2016 and go from there.

Dont forget he is using a 200 grain tip and 29 1/2" I shoot 2016 out of my 50# bow 28" with 125gr it would be way under spin with 200gr.

It'll be a close call between a 2216 or a 2117. Going to depend on your release. DANNY

Sorry,I do see now that Bear described it as being center shot.That does make a difference.Very cool bow.I'd love to know what arrow you end up with.

Jim, It's in real nice shape. All decals are intact no stress. It's a beauty for a 55 Kodiak Special. Thanks Mike

On the 3-rivers calculator enter"generic recurve " . You have to do that for most bows anyway as they arn't all listed. Works great if all the other info is entered correctly! I use it for all the old Bears and everything comes out perfect!
