Title: Bear Arrow Help
Post by: 69RECURVE on April 03, 2010, 06:01:00 PM
Can someone educate me to the differences with these various bear wooden arrows. Like what is an "A60" versus an "X300"?

And any other numbers and what they might mean.

Thanks

The A60 was listed as the ideal practice arrow for beginners. Te X300 was matched cedar shafts. The X200 were precision matched. These changed as Bear offered Bear-Easton,A10 Micro-flite,A20 A40 Bear top grade cedar, the higher the # the lower the grade. In 1962 Bear's top cedar was the A50 Thunderbird. You About have to reference the cataloges. Hope this helps.
