The LE bows must be all bought out I noticed one well above retail. Why did they wait?

At $1600 they were already way above retail!

I think some bought the B not really wanting them so they could buy the A next.Now some of the B's are being resold.

Are they going to make a A riser in it? I thought I read that the next one was going to be the 59 model. Who knows!!!!

Unless things change for some unknown reason, the A riser & #3 limbs will be next. Far as I know, we stil have 1 or 2 B riser LE bows available for order. I don't know about anyone else. But then, we did get a xtra large allotment. :)

Got a call from bear yesterday #78 on its way to me... excited

It's a limited edition, and we have about 21 million archers in this country alone. I would expect them to sell out. As for reselling at a higher price? That's just smart business when something is no longer available; well, as long as someone is willing to pay a higher price. Remember though, there is an optimum time for any 'collector edition' no matter what sport or genre, look at what happened to the original from the 80's that now isn't even bringing half the price it did just a few years back. The market isn't huge for these things and interest dwindles over the years. Frankly, I don't buy bows to collect, it's not a very good investment over time.

You're right Mike, nothing like "instant gratification"; if you can afford it.

Big Jim what woods are they going to use?

From: Babbling Bob Compton's Traditional Bowhunters

Nice to see one without quiver inserts.

Is that like a black beauty handle on it have never seen what one would look like

From: Yooper-traveler

No, it’s just the way it looks in the picture I took.

It's very nice. Pretty bow.

I'd have to see if I liked the grip though. Some newer Bears aren't as comfortable in the handle as the old ones. JMO

To be honest I have a three or four year old bear take down, and I also have a green stripe. The handles are very similar. In fact, Its hard to tell the difference between the three.

MDW message me I'll hook you up with some good Facebook Bear pages

All the LE's will have the same wood.. unless something changes, but I don't see that happenening since I have sent them 100% of the veneers (waterfall bubinga) and 70% of the riser wood or more for all 4 models.

I was mistaken on how many spots I had available when I posted above apparently we had more. Sold 3 spots to one gentleman after this post. That leaves 1 more bow available for sure.

Macassar varies considerably and your riser could be very dark with minimal striping to considerably striped with major contrast. Most if not all of the Mac is on the dark with more or less striping.
