Anyone have one of these 76er bows?

The Bear Takedown Hunter is a Very nice bow that does not get much recognition. I had one, and traded it out, (already had another takedown I was shooting more), but in my opinion VERY under rated. Depending on what limb weight yours has and what weight you want, Samick Journey limbs fit nice. There are a few here on the wall that have them.

There is a takedown hunter that is not the same as a 76er.Actionwood riser bolt on limbs.

Their is the 76er Take-Down Hunter ( 1977 ) and then there is the Bear Hunter TD ( with bolt on limbs ) 1988 to 2001. And in 1997 their was the Fred Bear Take-Down Hunter with the latches like the Bear Kodiak Take-Down.

I believe Nrthernrebelo5 is talking about this bow.

The 1977 was the only year Bear made a 76er as a take down Hunter. It has a much smaller sight window. I was wondering was it offered in anything other then black.

My two 1990s Bear Hunter TD.

The 1977 Bear Catalog says it came in random dark colors.

1997 Fred Bear Takedown Hunter

This is a metal riser bow

Yes it's the first picture I posted. I only posted pictures of the other two to show the differences between them because they have similar names.

Thanks Frank

You're right.Takedown Hunter is different from the Hunter Takedown! Punctuation!

Frisky has talked about his a few times. They are handy for just about anything. The limbs just slip out of the riser and you can carry the who shebang in a back quiver or day pack. Handy bow to have for those days when you want to travel light.

It's funny how things change.Bear Collecting has changed due to ebay- pawn shop finds,yardsales etc.Its easy for almost everyone to get a value.76ers were regarded as $25-50 bows 15 years ago but in the last year I've seen some go ridiculously high(imo).

I have a Bear TD Hunter from the 90s in #55. I cant begin to pull that weight anymore so I put Sage limbs on, they fit perfectly! This picture shows the riser with #40 Sage limbs. This shoots very nicely but I dont care for the grip so I dont shoot it much.

The 76ers came in a few different models. If I remember correctly there was the Deluxe, the Custom, the Take-down, and the Take-Down Hunter. I never owned one. Maybe some of the members who have will post. I'm curious how they shot.

The 1977 title of this thread caught my eye. Here is one of 3 ever made and one of them has been stolen and never recovered. Made by Brandon Stahl of Rose Oak. I'm letting it go as I don't use it.

got a warfed 76r I like. it shot fine as it was, just wanted to try something defferent...ron
